New Jersey has a focused archery scene anchored by the New Jersey State Field Archery Association (NJSFAA), the NFAA state chapter. NJSFAA activity runs across indoor target, outdoor field, and 3D, with Freestyle, Bowhunter, Traditional, and Barebow classes separated by age. The NJSFAA State Championship is an outdoor Field/Hunter/Paper Animal shoot with 14 Field, 14 Hunter, and 14 Animal targets per day. Six clubs are affiliated with NJSFAA. USA Archery activity in New Jersey runs through clubs and JOAD programs. Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, and the I-78 corridor hold the densest club scenes. Head into the Pine Barrens, the Skylands, and the Delaware Water Gap and you find clubs cut into hardwood with field and 3D courses. Bowhunting is significant statewide, with a long archery-only deer season. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
