We have IBO World Champion Rod Jenkins scheduled to come to Santa Fe, NM to give his Shooting Clinic on the weekend of April 13th and 14th.
I have never attended Rod's clinic, so I will have to refer you to other threads and posts here on Tradgang for a more detailed description of what Rod teaches. But in short the clinic is focused on form and fundamentals of the shot. Rod will guide you through the seven steps of the shot with both one-on-one and group instruction.
The cost for the clinic is $225 per person. Since Rod is traveling far, we will need to fill all 12 spots in order for the clinic to run.
The clinic will be held at the Archers de Santa Fe range just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Please see www.archersdesantafe.org (http://www.archersdesantafe.org) for directions to the range.
Send me a PM to sign up.
Henrik

I attended one of these clinic's last year. It was the best money I ever spent on Archery!

Thanks John. I've been reading all the reviews of the Clinic, and I'm really looking forward to it. I sure need the help :)
I am seriously thinking about going to this clinic. It is almost an 8 hour drive for me. If I decide to go I am wondering if there would be anyone that would like to share a hotel room. This way it would cut the cost in half. I am sure there will be some guys driving in from outside Santa Fe that will need to stay in a hotel.
Thanks,
Mark
Mark, so far I only have "locals" signed up, but hopefully we'll get more signed up from out of town.
Guys, take the time and spend the $. It is the single best thing you can do for yourself pertaining to archery. Rod is an excellent teacher and you will go away with the tools to continuing, throughout your lifetime, to stay on track and improve. Plus it will be just a plain ol' good time....(said in a 'Bama southern way)
Hi Henrik,
I'm interested. PM sent.
Josh
Thanks Snag for the plug. I'm really looking forward to it. As you said, particularly to getting the tools to improve.
Josh, I shot you an email with details.
I wanted to get this back to the top so hopefully more people will see it and take advantage of this great oppertunity.
Henrik, Could you please email me if it looks like the clinic is for sure going to happen?? Don't want to fly down and have it not happen. Duckbill@alaska.com
Thank you for the bump Randy :)
Since I got a question about the Clinic duration from someone interested: the Clinic will run Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm and on Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm. Sorry for any confusion.

Bill, I can certainly understand that. Right now we have 5 people signed up and confirmed. 2 more Tradgangers have expressed an interest. So for now I can't guarantee that the clinic will run for sure. But I will keep you posted.
Thanks a lot, as always the sooner the better. Airlines always gouge you deep for last minute flights, especially from up here
Bill, I have your contact info on the list, and I'll keep an eye on it and let you know along the way as sign-up progresses.
Someone let me know that the link in the OP didn't work. I fixed the link, but you can also click this link for more info:

AZHunter: I have corrected time info for you. I can't PM you via Tradgang. Shoot me an email or reply to PM.
I would like to attend if my schedule will allow. PM how you want payment.
Adam and I attended the clinic in Hood River a few years ago-it was a really good investment and we had a great time. No matter what aiming style you use Rod helps you to plan your shot sequence and maximize your draw length-well worth your while.
Question for those that have attended one of Rod's clinics before. How is it for someone that does NOT have years of experience with the bow? Does he work with you no matter what your current skill level is or is it more geared towards those that have more experience and are looking to tune up their current abilities?
Thanks!

That's a really good question - I've only been at it for about a year :)
I think he would love working with guys that are fairly new. I would have loved to have had a guy like him teaching me proper form when I started out. Would have saved me a ton of learning the hard way.
For beginners the most important thing is getting the basics correct......for longtime shooters, the most important thing is getting the basics correct ...For World class shooters, the most important thing is getting the basics perfect :)
There ya go....I think you just got the best answer you can. :thumbsup:
Thanks for chiming in Rod :)
Sounds good to me! Thank you sir.
Oh man, I've been wanting to go to one of Rod's clinics for a while...I find his segments in the Masters of the Barebow videos to be the most helpful and I watch them over and over.
Don't know if I would be able to make it out to NM in April though!
Any west coast clinics in the future?
Check out Ted Fry's post. I brought it ttt. Sounds like Rod is coming to Or....a little closer to you :dunno:

SF to ABQ isn't that bad a flight ... IJS :)
I agree with you about Rod's section in MoB. When my form is acting up - more than usual that is - I re-review that segment to try to get my head straight.
Great news. Rod has made travel arrangements, and the Clinic is on for sure.
So if you were on the fence, now's the time to start planning and reserve your spot.
I'm "pumped" :)
Bill Sant: I sent you a couple of emails. Just want to make sure they reach you. Let me know.
HenrikBP, do you still have any opening for clinic? April would work alot better for me than the dates in Cody,WY. Iam wondering if deposit could be transfered to NM clinic? Thanks
When the payments come in from everyone signed up, we will have 3 spots left in the shooting clinic.
Britt; let me know when you hear back about your deposit.
TTT for the evening crowd.
The class is now full - thank you to all that expressed an interest.
We do have a waiting list though, so If you're interested, you can contact me and I will add you to the list.
