NASP/JROTC use the Morrell FITA (International) style target during all levels of archery.
The program outcome of the Pathfinder Archery Team is to give cadets an opportunity to participate in an alternative sports program other than standard football or basketball.
The coaches are CSM Topasna (BAI certified) and SFC Williams. Cadets will receive training on the basic fundamentals of shooting.
The initial training consist of the following lessons:
Introduction - The History of Archery
Range Safety Orientation
Determining Eye Dominance
String Bow training
Eleven Steps to Archery Success
Archery Journal Entry
Safety Orientation
Range Operation
Scoring
Etiquette
Targets (FITA)
Bow equipment
Arrow equipment
Practices (see calendar)
The practices will change to accommodate our tournament teams. The teams will participate in local tournaments and the state National Archery in the Schools and NASP region and state tournaments, with the opportunity to qualify for the National tournament. Once the team is chosen additional practices will be necessary.
There are no dues to join the Pathfinder Archery team; however, funds may be required during the school year to help cover the cost of the equipment, supplies, t-shirt, and tournament fees. Each team may be tasked and assigned a goal of how much they must raise for the team to meet expenses during the school year (TBD).
