NFAA National Indoor Fall League 2024
Join the 2024 National Indoor League this fall!
The League runs for 10 weeks at NFAA ranges across the world, offering members the opportunity to compete at an international level from their home range. Archers shoot Vegas rounds for the first 5-week session and NFAA 300 rounds (blue/white face) for the second 5-week session. The archer’s top 4 scores from each session are counted toward their National Indoor League final placement.
IMPORTANT: League scores do NOT have to be shot at a host location. If there is no host in their area, archers can also participate at any 20-yard indoor range around the world. Host locations with a current NFAA club charter or shop license and current NFAA Indoor Range Certification are eligible for rebates.
All participants are entered to win entries into the 2025 nfaa National indoor Championships and other prizes!
All NFAA divisions are eligible to participate. Participants must be a NFAA member in good standing and can register in up to three shooting styles within the same age division. No registrations will be accepted after the Late Registration Deadline.

Thank you for your interest in hosting the NFAA National Indoor League! You are welcome to promote the National League alongside your local league and encourage archers to sign up for both. Best of all, there are no fees or forms associated with hosting, and you do NOT need to register your League with the NFAA. The only requirements to being a host location include abiding by the NFAA indoor range and round rules set forth in the NFAA Constitution and By-Laws, Article IV, Section E (pp 54-56).

REBATES
The NFAA is offering rebates to host clubs in the amount of $25/adult and $20/junior participants. No form needs to be completed by the host to receive this rebate. Rebate checks will be mailed to the address on file within 2 weeks of the National Indoor League completion. Hosting clubs may also charge their own fee to the archer to further aid in covering expenses.
For a host to be automatically eligible for these rebates, all of the following must be true:
- The archer declares the location as his/her home range on the scorecard submission form.
- The shop/club has an active NFAA charter/license through the duration of the League. If new, the club/shop must have activated their initial NFAA charter/license no later than the end of Session 1 on Oct 6, 2024 to be eligible for rebates.
- The shop/club has an active NFAA Indoor Range Certificate through the duration of the League. If a host has an expired Indoor Range Certificate, it must be reinstated no later than the end of Session 1 on Oct 6, 2024 to be eligible for rebates. The Indoor Range Certificate is a separate designation from the charter/license and requires a range inspection.

Any standardized scorecard may be used to record arrow values. Archers are able to use the below templated scorecards provided by the NFAA if they desire. The archer plus at least ONE witness must sign the bottom of each scorecard to be considered valid.
Vegas 300 Round ScorecardNFAA 300 Round Scorecard
Archers are responsible for submitting their scorecards via the online scorecard submission form. All scores must be input directly into the form and scorecards must be attached to the form for verification purposes. All scores and scorecards must be submitted no later than the deadlines as specified in the section above. Scores received after the deadlines will not be counted. Archers with less than the required 8 scores will not be listed in the results or eligible for awards.
Archers are encouraged to submit their weekly scorecards as their rounds are completed during the League. Updated placements based on each archer’s total scores will be posted periodically. Actual scores will not be posted until the League has been completed and all scores have been submitted.
Archers are able to designate their "home" club on the scorecard submission form. If the designated club holds a current NFAA charter and current NFAA Indoor Range Certificate, the club will be eligible to receive a rebate. Read more about rebates on the Host Information tab.
Once the scorecard form is completed for the first time, the archer will receive a confirmation email. The link provided in this confirmation email must be used to edit that same form for subsequent scorecard submissions. Each archer must use a unique email address and the same form for the duration of the League.
ROUND AND SCORING RULES
All rounds will follow NFAA rules as stated in the NFAA Constitution and By-Laws, Article VI, Section E.
Cubs will shoot at 10 yards for the NFAA 300 rounds (blue/white face) and 20 yards for the Vegas rounds.
Archers can choose whether they shoot the 40cm single-spot or multi-spot target face for both the NFAA blue/white 300 rounds and the Vegas rounds. All archers will shoot the 40cm single-spot or multi-spot target face for both rounds regardless of age division or shooting style.
The archer plus at least ONE witness must sign the bottom of each scorecard to be considered valid.
For all NFAA rounds, an arrow shaft need only touch the line to be counted in the area of next higher value.
EQUIPMENT RULES
All rounds will follow NFAA shooting styles and equipment rules as stated in the NFAA By-Laws, Article II.
AWARDS
National League Champion belt buckles are awarded to the top finisher in each division. Medals are given to 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each division and flight winners.

There is no official "sign up" process to host. The club can simply advertise the League using the official promotional materials provided on the Host Information tab, and tie it into their existing league if they so choose.
Since we are not asking hosts to register with us, we do not have an official list of the National League hosts. You can search for NFAA Clubs & Shops on the Club & Shop Finder to see if there are any NFAA clubs or shops in your area. If there are, we encourage you to reach out to them to see if they are hosting or would like to host.
All NFAA clubs and shops are eligible for rebates as long as their Club Charter/Shop License AND their Indoor Range Certification is valid through the duration of the League. If a host has an expired Indoor Range Certificate, it must be reinstated no later than the end of Session 1, October 6, 2024. The club will automatically receive a rebate for each archer who designates the location as their home range on the Scorecard Submission Form. No form or additional work is required from the club. For more details, please visit the Host Information tab.
You can shoot rounds for the National Indoor League at any 20 yard range around the world!
Cubs will shoot from 20 yards for Vegas rounds and 10 yards for the NFAA 300 blue/white round. All other divisions shoot from 20 yards for both rounds.
The NFAA will not be providing targets to host locations. Targets can be purchased through the online NFAA Store.
You can submit scorecards at any time via the Scorecard Submission Form. Once the form is completed the first time, you will be sent a confirmation email. The link provided in that email will enable you to return to the SAME form and update it throughout the League with your remaining scores and scorecards.
Archers are not required to submit scores every week during the League, but their name will not appear on the updated standings if no scores are submitted. The deadline for all Session 1 scores and scorecards to be submitted is Oct 11, 2024. All National League scores and scorecards for Session 2 must be submitted no later than Nov 15, 2024. Any scores received after these dates will not count toward the archer’s National League ranking.
That is okay! There is no shooting group size requirement to participate in the National Indoor League. Only yourself and ONE other witness need to sign your scorecard to be considered valid. Get to the range, shoot some arrows, and have FUN!!
Any standardized scorecard may be used to record arrow values. Archers are able to use the templated NFAA 300 round and Vegas 300 round scorecards provided by the NFAA if they desire. The archer plus at least ONE witness must sign the bottom of each scorecard to be considered valid.
