Additional JOP Information

We ask that all archers be ready to shoot 15 minutes prior to their shoot times as we are on a tight schedule. Coaches and archers only allowed on the range at all times. We ask that parents stay in the lobby during JOP sessions.

We will have a welcome table in the lobby to check in weekly where archers can find what target they are assigned to for the evening. This will help save confusion and delay on the range during the sessions.

Archers planning to attend the Provincial JOP Championship shoot in April 2025 are required to have 10 submitted and recorded scores. Archers intending to compete must ensure they have recorded the required scores and must sign up to ensure the club has ample time to register them. Watch for the sign-up sheet at the range in February 2025.
