LEO'S JOAD
JUNIOR OLYMPIC ARCHERY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - J.O.A.D.
LEO'S JOAD is one of the oldest JOAD clubs in the United States and was founded by Helen (MA) Little in 1968 on Transit
Rd in Depew, NY at Leo's Archery Range. Leo Baldwin was the original owner of Leo's Archery and when he retired Ma's
daughter Mary and her husband Harry Staebell took over the business and the JOAD program. Later, Leo's moved to
East Aurora, NY where the JOAD flourished until the Staebell's retired in 2005, and Bob and Eileen Pfeil and daughters
took over the JOAD program bringing it to WFCS.

All shooters new to the Leo's JOAD program need to fill out a new shooter application. This can be found under the forms tab or click the link below. We will then contact you about a start date. DO NOT sign up for a class time. Due to the limited space and coaches we can only start so many new archers per week.
