2023 NFAA & BTB 1-Arrow National Championship: A Growing Event
Since 2020, the prolonged partnership between the NFAA and Break the Barriers has brought growth and excitement to the roster of annual NFAA tournaments. 2023 was the first year that this event was featured as a National Championship. Over 500 archers gathered in sunny Fresno, CA on April 15-16 to compete for the title of National Champion. Between NFAA participants, guests, and team shooters there is a spot for everyone to enjoy the outdoors and shoot arrows in great company. As a newly-introduced division in the NFAA, we proudly hosted over 40 collegiate archers who were excited about the opportunity to shoot a national-level NFAA event. The Freestyle, Traditional and Collegiate team divisions offer a weekend of excitement for shooters and spectators alike as the top archers fight for the podium title in a shoot-off on Sunday.
