BSA Chickasaw Council Level 1 Practical

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION TO OBTAIN THE US ARCHERY LEVEL 1 ARCHERY CERTIFICATION FOR BSA CHICKASAW COUNCIL:

The Practical Level 1 class will be taught by Jimmie James, a US Archery Level 3 Coach and Instructor Trainer. Previous archery experience is not required for Level 1 or 2 for course participants.

Course requirements consist of the $40 US Archery Level 1 class (Course Information and Registration) and "fee-assessed hands-on” Practical exam by a BSA Chickasaw Council USA Archery Instructor Trainer. Once both course segments are completed, participants may download their official USA Archery Level 1 Instructor certificate valid for three years which is renewable on the USA Archery website. Successful completion of all US Archery Level 1 course requirements provides the necessary training for scout leaders (18 and older) to teach Cub Scout Range Master classes, supervise Chickasaw Council Cub Day camp archery; and teach the BSA Archery Merit Badge as well as running archery programs for BSA Troops and Crews.

Instructor candidates will learn to operate a safe yet fun archery range. The course covers range setup and safety, proper equipment, aspects of good shooting form and methods of teaching.

This US Archery Level 1 course is taught in two sequential parts:

(1) A three-hour Archery Level 1 Instructor Certification Online Course (completed prior to the Practical); and a 

(2) 4-6 hour “in-person” Practical portion, depending on class size, which is to be reserved through this USA Archery website registration.  

Upon successful completion of the online course, students will then register for this in-person Practical Course. Minimum age is 18 or 15 with permission of the instructor.   

The Level 1 Practical class will start at 8:30 AM CST at 8250 Pleasant Ridge Rd., Arlington, TN 38002.  

This course costs $20 for registered Scout Leaders and $50 for non-scout adults with any open balances to be paid the day of class.
