Indoor Archery Range
On target: Town Hall Archery teaches the basics
You can hit a bulls-eye, or at least the target, if you start with some archery basics.
Town Hall Archery’s Monty Hoffarth gives seven basic steps of archery he teaches at the Belleville shop. He used the indoor archery range from a distance of 30 yards.
1. Stance – Set your feet 90 degrees to the target. Right foot slightly forward of your left foot. If you’re left-handed, do the opposite.
2. Nock – Next, take an arrow and place it on the bow string under the nocking point with the odd color fletching to the left and then set it on the arrow rest.
3. Draw – Set your left hand into the grip in the V of your thumb and index finger. Put your release or your fingers on to the string, extend your left arm to the target and pull the string to your face.
4. Anchor – As you pull the string to your face, bring it to the same place each time.
5. Aim – Line up your sight with the center of the target. Tilt your head behind the bow string to line up. It helps to use a peep sight on the string.
6. Release – Keeping good back tension on the string, squeeze the trigger on the release aid or release your fingers from the string.
7. Follow through – Keep your head as still as possible and your left arm (bow arm) extended to the target until the arrow hits the target.
Monty Hoffarth manages Town Hall Archery, 5901 Cool Sports Road — off Illinois 15 and Frank Scott Parkway in Belleville. His parents started the business in 1969 after they all got involved with archery in the early 1960’s. He’s been teaching archery most of his life.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard Fires Away In Yankton « An Inland Voyage
As part of an expansion announcement Wednesday evening that was heralded by Gov. Dennis Daugaard, it was revealed that the NFAA/Easton/Yankton Archery Complex will get a $1.5 million addition that will include the world's first dedicated 70-meter indoor archery range. National Field Archery Association (NFAA) president Bruce Cull broke the news during a muggy late July barbecue held to mark the opening the USAA National Target Championship, one of a handful of major archery competitions happening at the complex this week. The tournaments have attracted more than 800 archers from all 50 states, as well as other countries. The existing NFAA/Easton/Yankton Archery Complex, which serves as the NFAA's headquarters and has archery training space, is 21,600 square feet. The addition will be 29,500 square feet, more than doubling the size of the facility. Besides the indoor range, the expansion will include a warehouse to store equipment and office space. "We started thinking about this when we built the original building," Cull said. "It's one of those things that I've had in the back of my mind but have never had the ability to put together. The whole idea behind the addition, really, is to be able to have athlete training year round and big indoor tournaments. Because of our weather here, we can't be out on the field in the winter." Daugaard noted that this was his third visit to mark important developments at the archery complex in recent years. The last time was when it was announced that an effort is under way to get the facility designated as a Community Olympic Development Program. The United States Olympic Committee has partnered with sport groups across the nation to create programs that provide training in fencing, weightlifting, judo and a variety of other activities. Only one other archery program exists. Cull said he believes the designation could be announced for Yankton in the next three to six months. "I can't think of what is going to make that more likely than this addition that is going to more than double the size of this facility and provide the first indoor 70-meter range in the world," Daugaard said. On behalf of all South Dakotans, the governor also took the opportunity to welcome the many archers on hand for the event. "We hope you have a great time with great success," Daugaard said. "I'm also grateful that this is the home of the NFAA. They have an excellent campus here ...
