USA Archery Commends Achievement Award Winners

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado – USA Archery’s Achievement Award Program is designed to celebrate the accomplishments of archers of all ages and abilities as they progress in the sport from the most beginner to incredibly advanced levels of success. The JOAD Olympian and Adult Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards mark the highest of those achievements and USA Archery is proud to congratulate many archers on their achievements this spring.

Eloise Hansemann earned her bronze Olympian award at Indoor Nationals earlier this year while competing alongside her big sister Isabel. Eloise shared: “One of my favorite things about archery is the opportunity to do it with my family. I always try to keep goals in mind and reaching them with my sister pushes me to do my best. Setting goals and working towards them is a good time to learn as well as see progress. Family, goals, achievement, and failure all motivate me to improve both mentally and physically."

These awards are part of the USA Archery Achievement Program, which provides achievement award pins for progressive scoring achievements, and encourages youth and adult archers to accomplish goals in the sport of archery.

In addition to a certificate and pin, Bronze JOAD Olympian awards are recognized with a backpack, Silver JOAD Olympian awards are recognized with a lightweight jacket, and Gold JOAD Olympian awards are recognized with a belt buckle. 

Archers wishing to shoot for these awards must be current youth, adult, or family members of USA Archery and part of a registered USA Archery JOAD or Adult club. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Congratulations to our recent JOAD Achievement Award winners:
