Full description and what we offer
Colorado JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) organizes sanctioned archery competitions across Colorado for shooters of all ages. This isn't a retail shop or single facility—it's the statewide tournament network that connects young archers with competition and the chance to earn custom belt buckles.
The annual season runs October through March with 5 indoor tournaments. Archers compete in their age division (Yeoman, Bowman U13, Cub U15, Cadet U18, Junior U21, and adult classes) across three disciplines: Barebow, Recurve, and Compound. To qualify for the season buckle award, competitors must participate in at least 4 of the 5 events. Points are calculated on placement—first place = 1 point, second = 2 points, etc.—with the archer having the lowest total points crowned Shooter of the Year.
Archers competing in all 5 events earn a bonus -1 placement point
