​

The Calgary Junior Archers Program** features a Badge Program designed to help archers track their progress and allow coaches to provide challenges that promote skill development.

​

Earning Badges  
Junior archers receive badges as they refine their skills.

Once they have mastered the basics, they will begin shooting scored rounds, with each round consisting of 30 arrows, shot in 10 ends of 3 arrows.

To earn a badge, an archer must achieve the required score twice during Sunday classes or Tuesday night practices.

 

However, if an archer reaches the next badge level at a registered FITA tournament, only one qualifying score is needed to earn the badge.

The discontinuation of the  CanBow Program:

With the discontinuation of the CanBow program, CAJP will be using a very similar model.

​

Target Progression  
These badges guide archers through three target sizes, moving from the largest to the smallest:

- 80cm Large Target 
- 60cm Medium Target  
- 40cm Small Target (Single or triple face)

​

Once a junior archer has earned all available badges for a specific target size, they progress to the next smaller target.

​

 Badge Breakdown  
The number of badges available for each target size is:

- Large Target:4 badges  
- Medium Target: 4 badges  
- Small Target:*18 badges  

Tracking Progress  

 

Badges are awarded regularly throughout the year. Archers can track their progress using:

 

- The CAJP Bulletin Board, where scores are posted after each lesson  

- The Athlete’s Handbook, which includes a progress chart for personal tracking
