Nevada has a focused archery scene anchored by the Nevada Bow Hunters Association (NBHA), the NFAA state affiliate. The NBHA hosts five state championship shoots each year and an All Around Championship for archers who compete in at least four of the five. The State Marked 3D Championships and State Unmarked 3D Championships are both held in Eureka at the Perdiz gun and archery range, with 40 3D animal targets each. The State Outdoor Hunter Field Round is part of the same calendar. USA Archery activity in Nevada runs through clubs and JOAD programs. Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and Henderson hold the densest club scenes. Mild desert winters let most of the state shoot outdoor essentially year-round, with summer pushing activity to morning sessions and higher elevations. Bowhunting is significant, with mule deer, elk, antelope, and the rare draw-only desert bighorn sheep tag pulling bowhunters from across the country.
