Adaptive Archery in OAS

Archers, coaches, club leaders and event hosts should refer to the USA Archery Policy for Adaptive and Assistive Equipment when participating in club activities and sanctioned events.

In addition, please refer to the USA Archery Adaptive Archery Resource page for more information including the Adaptive Archery Manual, Video Series and more! 

Local Competition

Any OAS club in good standing with a current club membership can sanction a local event with USA Archery. A “local” event sanction with USA Archery simply means a state or national championship will not be awarded. Local competitions can include schools from your district, across the state or other states and are a great way for clubs to fundraise and prepare for state and national competition. The format of the event will be up to the host club.

Optional Formats:

  • Qualification Round
  • Qualification Round and Eliminations

The OAS Virtual Tournament is offered twice a year, once in the Fall and once in the Spring.
