Teen Archery
The Kennesaw Archery Club
-Marlina
************************************************************************************
The Kennesaw Archery Club is one of the best clubs around as well as one of the best JOAD programs. What makes archers better? Well, certainly hard work, but also the coaches. It just so happens that this program has some of the top coaches in Georgia. Among them are Ginger Hopwood, Jim White, and Eric Cero. These coaches really go beyond the usual to help their students. At the Kennesaw Club we strongly encourage goals and motivation for you, the archer. We also encourage parent participation for the factor that seeing a parent at a shoot can give you the energy to grin and bare it and shoot one of your top scores.
Some
of the current happenings at “The Club” are that we have a shoot every Saturday
morning. We also have some tournaments
coming up:
◊April 21-22 is the GBAA
Spring Turkey at Gwinnett Archery.
◊April 22 is the Gwinnett
Indoor, a NFAA 300.
◊May 19-20 is the GBAA Target
in Conyers, GA.
◊June 9-10 is a registered
FITA at Mills Archery.
◊June 24-25 is the NBAA Field
Sectionals.
◊June 30 is the Georgia JOAD
State and South Regionals in Conyers, GA.
◊July 13-15 are the NAA JOAD
National Outdoor, in Carver, MA.
◊July 28- August 3, are the
NAA Outdoor Nationals in Canton, MI.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO WILL COMPETE!
I can’t stress the importance enough
in attending a good JOAD program. With
a good club, who knows how much you will achieve in the world of archery!

There are many teens just like you who are top names in the archery world. One of them is the past Olympian Karen Scavotto. Karen is one of those archers who will go to the extra mile to succeed. She has been shooting since she was a child and is looked up to by many as a role model. Karen competed in the Sydney 2000 Olympics finishing well against the top in the world. She shoots an Axis made by Hoyt (a well known bow manufacturer). People like Karen give teens a better name, not only is she a good archer, she is a good student. She exemplifies what we, as archers should want to be.
There are some other teen archers just like you who are stars. At the Kennesaw Archery Club, we have some of them who always strive to succeed. We really appreciate you Adam, Nick, Jamie, Jonathan, David, Will, Whitney, and Marlina! You guys are awesome! These kids are always trying to discover what will make them better, and then do it. They are kids we all truly admire.

Shooting Tips
Here are some tips that fellow
teens try to use when they are shooting:
●Always focus on form, not on score.
●Remember that the only arrow you can
change is the one on your string.
Forget the bad shots and focus on the present shot.
●Always remember to follow through.
●Try not to pluck.
●Focus on what you are doing and what you
are trying to achieve, not on what others around you are doing.
●The best things in life are always worth
hard work.
●Try to get outside help from either a
coach or another archer.
●And most importantly, ALWAYS HAVE FUN AND
DO YOUR BEST!
