JOAD is a program of USA Archery that is designed to teach archery to students during weekly sessions; taught by certified archery instructors/coaches. Both recurve and compound bows are used in the weekly sessions and tournaments. JOAD is open to any youth and adult archers ages 8-20 years old and is designed to grow with the archer. Introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper shooting form and as the archer develops they will learn more advanced techniques. Whether a student is interested is purely recreational or an Olympic, Paralympics, or World Championship dreams. The JOAD program is tailored to help young archers reach their goals.

Tripp County Range Robins JOAD was started in 2013 by Brad and Mary Whitley, Level 2 USA Archery Instructors with 16 shooters. In 2020 we had 12 shooters, 2 Level 1 Instructors, 4 Level 2 Instructors & 1 Level 3 Coach & 1 Level 2 USA Archery Judge. The original thought was to keep archers shooting once 4-H was done so they don’t have to start at square one again with a returning archer since they haven't shot for 1/2 a year and forgot what what they learned in the previous year. We shoot year round and whether you're looking to get started in archery or advance your current archery skills, recreational or competitive our goal is to make some of the best archers we can through teaching proper form, journaling, video analysis, training programs, tuning, equipment repair, event rules & more. In 2020 we hosted our first tournament, became affiliated with our State NFAA organization, and added the adult archery program.
