COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - The Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) and Adult Archery Programs each have an achievement program designed to motivate and challenge archers to develop their archery skills through different scoring levels at their own pace. JOAD and Adult Archers can earn advanced levels of recognition with Olympian awards and Bronze, Silver and Gold pins that signify continued hard work and dedication to the sport of archery.
Lystra Pitts of Wasting Arrows, along with several other archers from his club, saw incredible achievements this quarter: "We get excited whenever anyone earns a pin, from Green to Gold," Lystra shared. "Each pin represents growth and learning in the sport. Obviously we want to make a big deal of the Olympic pins they represent a higher level of dedication and determination."
Lystra earned the Silver pin for the Adult Archery Program: "I have been trying to earn my Silver pin for some time and have come heartbreakingly close on several occasions, I missed it by one point three times! When you get to the [Bronze, Silver and Gold] levels you really have to strive to shoot your absolute best shot every shot. I think that shooting for pins is a great learning tool for JOADs and competitive archers of all levels. It teaches us to shoot our best when the pressure is on."
USA Archery wants to celebrate the achievements of all of our archers: share your awards with USA Archery and other archers on social media!
