An archer’s age is determined by their actual age on the first day of the tournament. Any archer who has a birthday during a tournament will be allowed to finish the tournament in the age division he/she started in.
For National and Sectional tournaments, as outlined in the NFAA Constitution, NFAA age divisions are the following:

JUNIOR DIVISIONS:

• CUB (under 12)
• YOUTH (12-14 years of age)
• YOUNG ADULT (15-17 years of age)

Archers may compete in a higher age division upon written parental request and approval by the NFAA. This request is irreversible and will be applied to all future NFAA National and Sectional tournaments.

ADULT DIVISIONS:

• ADULT (18-49 years of age)
• SENIOR (50-59 years of age)
• SILVER SENIOR (60-69 years of age)
• MASTER SENIOR (70+ years of age)

Archers may compete in a lower age division within the adult divisions.
