New York runs two archery bodies. The New York Field Archers and Bowhunters (NYFAB) is the NFAA state affiliate and hosts the Indoor State Championship in Oneida along with the outdoor field and 3D state championships. The New York State Archery Association (NYSAA) is the USA Archery state chapter and runs the state outdoor and indoor target championships, supporting JOAD clubs and the Olympic-development pipeline. New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and Albany have a dense urban target club scene. Head upstate to the Finger Lakes, the Adirondacks, the Catskills, and Western New York and you find clubs cut into woodlots with field and 3D courses that run April through October. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
