Alaska has a small but committed archery scene anchored by the Alaska State Archery Association (ASAA), the NFAA state affiliate. Northwest Archers has been chartered in Anchorage since 1984 and hosts the State Field Shoot on Alaska's only NFAA-sanctioned field range, located in Kincaid Park. The Alaskan Bowhunters Association covers the bowhunting and conservation side. Anchorage and Fairbanks hold most of the organized indoor and outdoor archery activity. The outdoor season is short and intense, with peak weekends in summer when daylight runs long. Bowhunting culture is built around big game (caribou, moose, brown and black bear, Sitka blacktail, Dall sheep) that pulls bowhunters from across the world.
