About the Event
The 2026 Indoor Sectional format for all sections will consist of the best one of two NFAA 300 blue/white rounds. Each archer may choose to shoot either one or two rounds. Only the highest score will count toward their final sectional and national ranking. Shooting line times are 8am and 1pm on both Sundays.
All NFAA divisions are eligible to participate. Participants must be a NFAA member in good standing and can register in up to three shooting styles within the same age division. The Early Registration Deadline is three calendar days prior to each event. A $15 late registration fee applies after this deadline.
To be eligible for sectional awards, archers must hold a NFAA state membership within the section which they are competing. If competing in a section that does not include the state through which their NFAA membership is held, archers may compete in the Guest division. Archers may only register and compete at ONE location for the Sectional Championships unless the registrations are in the same age division. If an archer chooses to compete at multiple locations within the same age division and shooting style, only the score from their first location will be counted toward the final results.

An arrow is considered to be an Inside-Out X if the shaft is completely inside the X-ring with no part of the shaft touching the X-ring. Xs and Inside-Out Xs will be counted and considered part of the archer's official score.
If an archer shoots more than the prescribed number of arrows in an end, the excess arrow or arrows of higher value will not be scored. A penalty of one scoring ring (1 point and 1 X if applicable) will be assessed for each arrow shot over the prescribed number of arrows.
