ABOUT US
Tuscarora Archers JOAD is open to archers from 10 to 20 years old that have had some form of previous archery training. Our team offers both recurve and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that fosters sportsmanship, focus, increased self-confidence, and team building skills.
Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is a program of USA Archery that teaches archery to young people, provides great opportunities for awarding achievement, and helps archers to enjoy the sport recreationally or progress to the excitement of competition.
JOAD archers who use a compound bow can train to compete in local and regional tournaments, and can earn a seat on a youth world team to compete in other countries representing the United States on behalf of USA Archery. Recurve archers can compete likewise, with the added benefit of being able to use the recurve bow to try out for a spot on the USA Olympic Archery team.
Team Tuscarora is led by Jerry Shuck, USA Archery level 3 NTS Coach with over 10 years archery teaching experience, with assistance from Tom Stockman, USA Archery level 3 NTS Coach and Shane Toothaker, USA level 3 NTS Coach.
