The National Field Archery Association (NFAA) recently wrapped up the 2024 Outdoor Sectionals hosted across 16 locations nationwide throughout the 8 NFAA sections. The event celebrated the skills and dedication of archers from all corners of the country and saw nearly 350 participants.
Archers engaged in the classic NFAA Field, Hunter, and Animal rounds with the precise event format varying by section. Some sections completed 14 targets for each round type, while others tackled 28 targets. The diverse formats provided unique challenges and allowed for a rich display of archery talent.

For national ranking purposes, only target numbers 1-14 from each Field, Hunter, and Animal round were considered even if 28 targets were shot. This approach helped standardize rankings across the diverse event formats. The archers who placed first in their division for national ranking were put into a raffle for prizes. The winners of the drawing were:
- Maddie Pals was awarded free pre-registration and a hotel stay for the 2025 Outdoor Field Nationals and a $50 NFAA store gift card.
- Ella Phillips and Robert Anderson each received free pre-registration to any 2024-25 NFAA national or sectional event of their choice.
The successful continuation from the 2024 Indoor Sectionals of both the National Rankings and electronic scoring were notable aspects of this year’s Outdoor Sectionals. The use of electronic scoring ensured accurate and timely results, enhancing the overall efficiency and experience of the competition for both the archers and tournament hosts.
The NFAA extends its congratulations to all participants and winners, and thanks everyone involved for contributing to a successful and memorable Outdoor Sectionals.
