Next Step’s First 2025 Indoor USA Archery Style Warm-up Tournament!
Warm-Up Tournaments are the perfect opportunity for archers to prepare for the upcoming season, sharpen their skills, and build confidence before heading into larger Regional and National competitions. These events give athletes a chance to step onto the line, compete alongside their peers, and experience the rhythm of a tournament in a supportive environment.
Warm-Ups aren’t just for seasoned competitors—they’re also a fantastic way for both kids and adults to continue gaining exposure to archery competitions. Each event offers awards and recognition, making it an exciting and motivating experience for every participant.
To help athletes prepare for USA Archery standards, all participants—even youth—will be shooting at 18 meters. This consistency ensures archers are developing the skills and experience they’ll need at future state, regional, and national tournaments.
Whether you’re looking to stay competition-ready or just beginning your journey into tournament archery, our Warm-Up Tournaments are a great way to connect, compete, and grow.
To help athletes adjust to the tournament format, our first Warm-Up will use a shortened round compared to Nationals. Instead of the full 600 (60-arrow) format, this event will feature a 30-arrow round to introduce new competitors to the pace and style of competition.
Format: 30 arrows total (10 ends of 3 arrows each)
Time: 2 minutes to shoot 3 arrows for both A/B line and C/D line
Target Size: All other divisions shoot on a 40 cm target face at 18 meters. Except U15 Recurve divisions, & Barebow division will shoot at a 60cm target face to prepare for JOAD Nationals.
Scoring: Follows World Archery/USA Archery scoring. Freestyle compound shooters will use inner-10 scoring (only the X-ring counts as 10)
- Groups: There will be 3 or 4 people per group with two scorers and a caller.
