What not to miss at the 2019 NFAA Indoor Nationals

The NFAA Indoor Nationals is a championship tournament open to all current NFAA and USA Archery members. The event takes place on March 15-17 at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2019, its 39th year.

Archers shoot the NFAA Indoor Round, 60 arrows a day for two days at a single- or five-spot, blue and white target face set at 20 yards.

Late registration ends on March 15, the Friday before the competition starts, so there's still time to secure a space.
