Nocking Point Archers Archery Club

Competitive Archery, Community & Long-Term Development

Nocking Point Archery Club is the official archery club of USA Archery at Ohio Archery Center.

The club is built for archers who want to continue developing their shooting skills while also becoming part of a supportive and active archery community. While many members compete at local, state, regional, and national tournaments, the club is designed to be social first and competitive second.

Some members compete seriously. Others simply enjoy the challenge of improving, learning new skills, participating in events, and spending time with other archers who share the same interests.

The club includes both:

  • Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) Program
  • Ages 8–20
  • Adult Archery Program (AAP)
  • Ages 21 and older

Most club members shoot:

  • Olympic recurve
  • Barebow
  • Compound target archery

More Than Just Competition

One of the goals of Nocking Point Archers is to create an environment where people can continue growing both as archers and as individuals.

Archery naturally teaches:

  • focus
  • patience
  • discipline
  • goal setting
  • self-control
  • confidence
  • and personal responsibility

Many long-term friendships have developed through the club over the years. Some members enjoy tournaments and rankings while others simply enjoy the practice sessions, monthly meetings, educational discussions, and community atmosphere.

For many members, the club becomes one of the most enjoyable and relaxing parts of their week.

Club Meetings & Activities

Monthly club meetings are typically held at Ohio Archery Center on the second Sunday of each month from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
