USA ARCHERY JOAD/AAP PIN SHOOTS
INDOORS
Where?
2818 North Halsted Street
When?
Roughly once per month. Most club events have a Ranking Round, and current USA Archery members can try for a pin during those Ranking Rounds. See below and/or the main Event Calendar.
What?
Sixty (60) total scored arrows (a World Archery 600 Round): ten (10) ends of three (3) arrows in two (2) minutes. We begin with 2 ends of practice. Each set of 30 arrows (a World Archery 300 Round) serves as an attempt for a USA Archery achievement pin. We typically offer four (4) different line times throughout the appointed day with a maximum of twenty people each line time. Adults typically shoot a 40cm target while youth typically shoot a 60cm target, depending on age class and pin level. The approximate duration for a single shooting line is 2.5 hours.
Why?
A pin shoot is a competition against oneself that archers participate in for various personal reasons, including: to track and to spur progress; to help coaches gain additional insight into how to help you achieve that progress; to experience a competition setting before entering a proper competition with placement; to meet other club members and guests of the club; etc.
Who?
Any current Youth or Adult USA Archery member can participate, whether or not a member of NSAC. Intermediate class participants and club members in good standing can borrow club equipment to participate.
