Louisiana has an active archery scene anchored by the Louisiana Field Archery Association (LFAA), the NFAA state affiliate. The LFAA runs the State 3D Championship (hosted at Bayou Bowmen Archery Club in New Iberia in spring) and the State Field Championships (hosted at Tangi Archery Club in Baton Rouge in summer), along with the state indoor calendar. USA Archery activity in Louisiana runs through clubs and JOAD programs. New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, and Lake Charles hold the densest club scenes. Mild winters and humid summers let most of the state shoot outdoor essentially year-round, with summer pushing activity to morning sessions. Bowhunting is significant statewide, with long archery-only deer seasons across the bottomlands. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
