Utah has a strong archery scene anchored by the Utah Archery Association (UAA), the NFAA state affiliate. The UAA runs the Utah State NFAA Field event in early June (typically hosted at Timpanogos Archers) and the UAA State Formal (NFAA 600 round, 60 scoring arrows over 3 distances) at the Easton Salt Lake Archery Center. The Easton Salt Lake Archery Center also hosts the Rocky Mountain Classic and the multi-state Utah/Idaho/Wyoming State and JOAD Outdoor Championship. USA Archery activity runs through clubs and JOAD programs. Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, St. George, and Logan hold the densest club scenes. Head into the Wasatch, the Uintas, and the broader backcountry and you find clubs cut into mountain terrain. Bowhunting is significant statewide, with elk, mule deer, antelope, bear, and the limited draw-only desert bighorn pulling bowhunters into the high country every fall. Use the city list below to find the right club for your discipline and location.
