NFAA Indoor Sectionals & National Series Unite Archers Coast to Coast

The 2025 NFAA Indoor Sectional Championships and National Series took place at ranges around the country from January through March. Archers first competed within their respective sections, vying for the title of Sectional Champion. But the competition didn’t stop there—scores from all sectional events were also combined to crown the very first NFAA Indoor National Series Champions in each division, adding an exciting new layer to the classic sectional format.

For the first time, the competition format was standardized to ensure consistency across all sections for the National Series. Archers completed two NFAA blue/white rounds, each consisting of 60 arrows. With a maximum score of 300 60X per round, both scores contributed to an archer’s final placement at the sectional level and overall national ranking. Specially designed National Series medals were awarded to the top finishers in each division, and $100 Scholarships were granted to the top winners in each collegiate category.

Participation was strong across the board, with 2,584 archers competing at 94 NFAA clubs and shops nationwide. Multiple sections saw a boost in attendance, most notably the Northwest section, which experienced a 35% increase over 2024.

Beyond the competition, archers appreciated the camaraderie and opportunity to prepare for future events in a friendly, competitive environment. A Southwest section archer shared, “The best part of the event was getting together with others to shoot and compare my progress to others around the country.” Another noted that it was a “fun shoot that provided practice in a tournament environment for upcoming tournaments.”

The Sectional Championships marked the end of the indoor season and ignited anticipation for the outdoor circuit, as archers set their sights on the upcoming Outdoor Sectionals and National Series, set to take place on field courses nationwide from May through June.
