Promoting all types of archery
Welcome to The Arizona Bowhunter and Field Archery Association
Arizona Chapter of the National Field Archery Association
ABFAA would like to remind all of the archery shooters that there is a chance to salvage this 2020 archery year by winning a Silver Belt Buckle. The ABFAA is going to put on 2 more shoots this year, the State International round and the State Field round. Any shooter that shoots in all 3 events will be eligible to win a 2020 Silver Buckle.
This has been a very tough year for archery tournaments, but the ABFAA is giving shooters a chance to leave this year with a great memory. The ABFAA has decided to flight the 6 buckles for 2020. Here is the overview of how we will determine the winners of the 6 buckles:
- Must be an ABFAA State member.
- Must shoot all three of the 2020 ABFAA tournaments to qualify. Qualifying tournaments are listed below:
- State Indoor
- State International
- State Field
- At the conclusion of the State International, Competitors will be placed into one of six flights based on their total combined score from the State Indoor and State International.
- Total number of qualifying archers after the State international will be divided into six equal flights with the highest scorer ranked #1 in the first flight and the lowest scorer ranked last in the sixth flight.
- The State Field score will be added to the total scores from the State Indoor and State International to determine the winner of each flight.
- High Point competitor in each flight after the State Field will win the buckle for that flight.
Note: Total Xs from all three tournaments will be used to determine the flight winner in the event of a tie
There are 2 shoots left in 2020. The ABFAA State International will be hosted by Desert Sky Archers. It will be held on November 1st at Ben Avery archery facility FITA range.
