Happy Thanksgiving to all - long time, no posts.

I have been reading about the NAA High Performance Program to train
the top USA Recurve Archers for Olympic competition. My question is
how to identify those men and women with high potential recurve
ability and dedication?

Three questions come to my mind that I want to ask you all:

First, how old were were you when you really got interested in
Recurve Archery?

Second, did you play any sports and recreations - tennis, golf,
darts, bowling, etc. - prior to archery that you felt developed your
interest and skill in archery?

Third, did you come to Recurve Archery from Compound Bow Archery?
Were you ever a compound bow/release aided shooter?

I think if there were more archery ranges available to high school
aged boys and girls - with prior athletic experience - we would see
more young serious archery candidates develop.

Hope to get some answers from you.

Best Wishes,
