NOTES TO THE PARENTS:

Please be positive around the archer the day before and the day of a Qualifying Round.  Archery is 90% mental and if the archer is upset or worried he/she will not be able to perform very well on the QR.
 -try to have the archer get a good night sleep
 -get archery equipment set-out ready to go
 -get clothes ready
 -have a healthy breakfast
 -allow plenty of time to arrive at the range at least 15 minutes early

Upon arrival at the range let the archer set-up their bow and prepare for the QR.  You may sit down on the bench and watch.  I want all parents to be behind the bow rack and please be quite.  If you would like to converse, please stand outside or there is a coffee shop a couple of blocks down the road.  It is very important for the archers to focus and not get distracted from loud conversation or laughing.

If the archer has a problem with equipment, they need to leave the shooting line and ask for assistance from the class Instructor.  If we are not able to solve a problem, we will ask the parent to help their child.

You may call, email or arrive early to class to ask an Instructor questions/concerns.  When we have interruptions during class it is a distraction and takes time away from the archers.
