Competition occurs on the local, state, regional and national level. According to Kellick the Nationals are open to any NAA member. Scoring in archery is simply a matter of hitting the target. The bullseye, the center circle of ten concentric scoring zones on the target, is worth 10 points. The number of arrows in an end can vary depending on the type of competition or which rules are in use.
Any member can show up and compete.
Competition gives you an idea of where you're at. According to Kellick every type of archery, from crossbow to recurve, is available through the NAA and its affiliate clubs. Then a series of wheels kick in and at full draw it's only 20 pounds. With the recurve you go from zero to 40 or 50 pounds. Technology tips Johnson feels that technology or changes in rules governing equipment will be the next improvement in archery.
