Outdoor National Target Championships 2019 Recap

 

In September 2019, around 250 archers gathered at the NFAA Headquarters in Yankton for the Outdoor National Target Championships. The two days of intense competition also overlapped with the Adult Academy. In its fourth year, the three-day academy covered all facets of archery competition and participants received 1-on-1 tips from top professional archers.

The 2-day outdoor shoot featured a NFAA 900 Round on Day 1 and a NFAA Classic 600 Round on Day 2. The NFAA 900 Round consisted of 5 ends of 6 arrows shot at 3 distances, beginning with the furthest distance. Cub distances were 30-20-10 yards, Youth distances were 50-40-30 yards and Young Adult/Adult/Senior distances were 60-50-40 yards. The NFAA Classic 600 Round consisted of 4 ends of 5 arrows shot at 3 distances, beginning with the closest distance. Cub distances were 10-20-30 yards, Youth distances were 30-40-50 yards and Young Adult/Adult/Senior distances were 40-50-60 yards.

Official shooting on Saturday September 7th began at 11:00 am. The Easton Yankton Comfort Station had cold drinks for sale throughout the day, and grilled out with hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch! On Sunday September 8th, shooting concluded at 1:00 pm, and awards were held inside the center at 2:30 pm.
