Connecticut Archery Association
Welcome to NFAA archery in Connecticut.
The Connecticut Archery Association (CAA) is proud to be affiliated with the
National Field Archery Association (NFAA). Why? The NFAA is the only nationally
organized archery
association that supports all types of competitive archery
today. With 50 chartered state organizations and over one thousand affiliated
clubs in the US and abroad, the NFAA provides archery for everyone. Whether your
archery preference is Indoor, Outdoor, Field, Target or 3-D, amateur or
professional the NFAA has something for every archer.
The
CAA has NFAA-sanctioned tournaments through out the year, indoors and outdoors,
providing recreation, hunting practice, and competitive enjoyment for the entire
family. Member clubs host many 3-D and Field archery tournaments most Sundays,
and a few Saturdays, through out the year. Our shooting schedule is located on
the last pages of our membership booklet. We hope that all archers will take
advantage of our extended shooting schedule by attending shoots at CAA
affiliated clubs. Without a doubt these archery ranges are some of the most
beautiful and challenging found anywhere.
As
an organization, the CAA hosts four State Championships each year – Indoor (20
yards – 300 round), Outdoor Target (122 cm target at 60, 50, 40 yards - 600
round), Field (field round), and 3-D. These tournaments are open to competitive
archers who belong to the NFAA/CAA, as well as non-competitive guest shooters
who want to experience these events. Please support archery in our state by
attending the State Championships, our affiliated club tournaments, and most
importantly with an NFAA/CAA membership. An NFAA membership is $35/year, which
includes a CAA membership. In addition to the CAA benefits, the NFAA/CAA
membership entitles the member to compete in State, Sectional and National level
tournaments and receive a 1-year subscription to Archery
magazine. For those archers that
want to support the sport of archery, but do not choose to shoot competitively,
a CAA non-competitive membership is available for $10/year. Non-competitive
members will receive a CAA news letter 4 times a year to keep up with what is
going on in the State organization, receive discounts at CAA affiliate club
shoots, and be eligible for entry in a cash drawing with participation at
affiliate club shoots.
Why
shoot competitive archery? It helps to develop your shooting form under all
conditions, understand your shooting limitations, make you more confident and
accurate while competing or hunting and keeps you in touch with archers at all
skill levels.
We
encourage all archers to become a member in Connecticut Archery Association and
our affiliated clubs. Please consult the pages in our membership booklet and
here in our web pages, under member clubs for information regarding our
affiliated clubs. Each club provides a contact name for membership or other
information.
Please
support the businesses that advertise with us. Many of these businesses have
supported archery for many years, while a few are new. These businesses sell all
kinds of sporting goods, guide services, archery related products, while
providing quality service and expert advice. Many of these advertisers have web
pages which can be found on our Links page. The next time you visit them,
mention that your saw their advertisement in our membership booklet and web
pages.
It
pays to belong to the CAA. CAA members can receive a discount in shooting fees
and can enter in a cash raffle when they shoot at affiliated clubs. Members of
affiliated clubs, but not necessarily CAA members, can also receive a discount
in shooting fees. Show your current membership card at registration to receive
your discount. You can save more than the cost of a CAA membership by
taking advantage of our discount program, but you must be a member to take
advantage. For more information go to our membership page for an application.
