USA Archery Pin Shoots
Roughly once per month. Plus most club events have a Ranking Round, and current USA Archery members can try for a pin during those Ranking Rounds. See below and/or the main Event Calendar.
A pin shoot is a competition against oneself that archers participate in for various personal reasons, including: to track and to spur progress; to help coaches gain additional insight into how to help you achieve that progress; to experience a competition setting before entering a proper competition with placement; to meet other club members and guests of the club; etc.
Any current Youth or Adult USA Archery member can participate, whether or not a member of NSAC. Intermediate class participants and club members in good standing can borrow club equipment to participate.
