Indiana has a strong archery scene anchored by the Indiana Field Archery Association (IFAA), the NFAA state affiliate, which hosts five state championship events covering Indoor, Outdoor Field, 3D, and related formats. The IFAA's Outdoor State Field is a two-day event with a full field round Saturday and half-animal half-hunter rounds Sunday. USA Archery activity in Indiana runs through clubs and JOAD programs. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, and Bloomington hold the densest club scenes. Head into Southern Indiana, the Hoosier National Forest, and the rural counties and you find clubs cut into hardwood with 3D and field courses.
