Scavotto began with a local coach early, but after several years was ready move up. Johnson is currently coaching her, but she also attributes her success to the four hours per day spent in practice. I always find time for it. According to Scavotto, making progress in archery depends on the person and how much they practice. They can learn how to shoot, safety, participate in shoots at the club and take it from there.
Competition occurs on the local, state, regional and national level.
According to Kellick the Nationals are open to any NAA member. Scoring in archery is simply a matter of hitting the target. The bullseye, the center circle of ten concentric scoring zones on the target, is worth 10 points. The number of arrows in an end can vary depending on the type of competition or which rules are in use. Any member can show up and compete.
