2025 OALC Shooters Who Competed Group Photo
Monday, October 13th, 6:00-6:30pm

We'll be taking this year's group photo on Monday, October 13th, between 6:00–6:30 pm. The process should only take about 20–30 minutes.

I'd like to invite everyone who shot a tournament out of Ohio Archery Center, or represented Ohio Archery Center, to be part of this photo. This has become a yearly tradition, and the picture will be added to the wall alongside previous years' group shots.

You'd be surprised how often people stop to look at these photos and reflect on the memories from past seasons—so please make every effort to attend!

OALC and 141st USA Archery Target Nationals and US Open

John Pfoh finished 1st in the Compound 70+ Men class at 141st USA Archery Target Nationals and US Open. John's US Archery National Ranking is 20th in Compound 50+ (note: 170 Compound 50+ archers entered the ranking system starting in January 2025 and only 20 completed all of the requirements). Great job John and solid performance to end the USA Archery tournament season.

OALC and National Senior Olympics
in Des Moines, Iowa

We had 2 archers from OALC at the National Senior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa. It was a tough several days of shooting because of the heat. Jeanine Hubbell finished 1st in "55-59 Female Recurve with Sights" class and Terry Keller finished 3rd in "50-54 Male Compound Release" class. Great job to both archers.

Closed - August 23rd, Saturday
for OAA 900 Championship in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

We're excited to share that 39 archers from Ohio Archery Center will be competing in this event, with many representing our home club, Nocking Point Archers. A special thanks goes to John Siebert, Vice President of the Ohio Archers Association (OAA), who is one of the key organizers helping to run this tournament smoothly. We will be open as usual on Monday, so feel free to stop by! Our dedicated OALC archers have been putting in the hard work to get ready, and we're proud to see their efforts pay off on the line. Good luck to all the archers — shoot strong!

Kids & Archery ...

Archery plays prominent roles in movies, TV shows and video games. Kids routinely see superheroes and Disney princesses shooting archery. They imagine themselves as Katniss, Merida and Hawkeye, and many ask parents if they can try the sport. Kids will think it's cool to shoot. Bows are featured in their video games after all! If archery intrigues your child, maybe it is time to sign him/her up for introductory lessons.

Archery is a great introductory sport for anyone of any age or skill. Many athletes shoot archery without having played other sports or honed any athletic skills. That makes it appropriate for any age. Archers must only focus on their form, not their individual strength or stamina. In addition, archery tournaments have age divisions for all kids who enjoy competing, so they can take their archery passions from the range to the tournament stage whenever they like.

• Archery is the oldest sport still practiced today, and while the equipment has changed, archery basics is remarkably unchanged.
• Archery gets your kids outside away from their phones/tablets where they can soak in that vitamin D and fresh air.
• Archery can help your kids develop their ability focus, and concentrate.
• Archery will strengthen your kids' confidence by giving them a skill that they can steadily improve upon.
• Archery can provide a positive outlet for a competitive kid.
• Archery can also be a great way for kids to develop new relationships like friendships with people of all ages and coaching relationships.
• As a parent if you shoot archery as well, then you and your kids can bond more by being coached together.

Maybe archery is the solution you've been looking for. Ohio Archery Center can provide your child with the structured program that will improve his/her skills, focus and self-esteem. Today is the day to sign up for lessons. No equipment is required.

Service Work ...

We service and tune most compound and recurve bows. New bow strings (Joey's Bowstrings), tuning, D-loops, minor repairs, inspections, etc. We also build arrows for hunting, target and traditional shooting. Arrows are custom ordered. We do not do any work on crossbows. We don't have a press for cross bows.
