Riverside Archery

The JOAD program is USA Archery's official development path for young archers and adults serious about the sport. Riverside Archery's certified instructors focus on range safety, proper shooting technique, and competition readiness—not just pulling a string.

• •4 group lessons per month
• •6 hours of open range time (uncoached)
• •New target face for each lesson
• •Monthly achievement pin tests across all bow styles

You bring your own equipment (recurve, compound, or longbow welcome). Once you pass a pin test at the required distance and score, you earn an achievement award. Work up through 11 pins total—the last three are bronze, silver, and gold Olympic awards with USA Archery certificates.

Weekend sessions (2 hours) vary based on competition season and tournament schedule.

This isn't casual archery. Students must practice at least 3 times per week—once in class, at least once on their own. You'll need to join USA Archery and NFAA within 30 days. Oranco Bowmen Archery Club membership is required for outdoor practice (separate fee).

• •Olympic recurve
• •Barebow
• •Compound

Students can test for each style separately and earn pins for each.

"Space is limited." Applications available in person at the shop.
