*Center Shot Archery Academy is a series of USA Archery education programs offered at the Outdoor Education Center via our Center Shot JOAD coaches. Each step is designed to take students (youth or adult) to the next level to help archers enjoy the sport recreationally or progress to the excitement of competition!
USA Archery's Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) and Adult Archery Program (AAD) are national-level curricula that offer barebow, recurve, and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that also fosters focus, increased self-confidence, and team building skills. As archers develop, they will learn more advanced techniques and earn achievement awards.
