Minnesota has two state archery bodies that work closely together. The Minnesota State Archery Association (MSAA) is the USA Archery state chapter and runs the state target, indoor, and 3D championships. The Minnesota Archers Alliance (MAA) is the NFAA state affiliate and co-hosts the MAA/NFAA State Field Championship with MSAA, allowing archers to win both state titles at the same event. The Twin Cities metro, Rochester, Duluth, and St. Cloud hold the densest club scenes. Head into Northern Minnesota and the Boundary Waters region and you find clubs cut into forest with 3D courses. Bowhunting is significant statewide, with long archery-only deer seasons across most of the state. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
