JDT

Now that I am on JDT there are many benefits and tasks.  Benefits in which the archer is  able to proceed and gain training with less expenses.  Yet some of the risks are  having to spend more money.  The benefits are: training with some of the top and Olympic level coaches twice a year.  The risk is that you have to miss school and may get behind in some of your work.  You get 50% of all archery equipement that you are going to buy, yet the risk is you may end up spending lots of money at once now because of this discount.  Your on a team with some of the best shooters in the country, so you cant let your team down by having an off day.  A risk is that you have to go/travel to all the USAT tournaments (United States Archery Team).  The USAT tournaments are all over the US.  The tournaments are hosted in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Alabama, and another in California.  In all of these tournament you have to shoot the division Cadet or above so even if your younger you have to shoot up.  Lots of traveling which means lots of money spent on the event, hotel, car, food, and gas.  These are the risks and benefits to being on JDT.
