About Archery NZ

Archery New Zealand is a TARGET archery association. This means that we shoot at Targets on a ground laid out specifically for that purpose.

Archery New Zealand is affiliated to the International Target Archery governing body, called WA ( World Archery). Olympic Archery is Target archery. There are other types of Archery like Field where archers move around a course and shoot a limited number of arrows from various distances at different sized targets. The New Zealand association for that is called “New Zealand Field Archery Association”. NZFAA

Archery New Zealand clubs also shoot other forms of archery such as Clout and field (as mentioned above).

Archery New Zealand holds two National Tournaments a year. The National Outdoor Championships and the National Indoor Championships. Both of these events are open to archers of all ages and abilities. There are many events held at Regional and Club level where archers can get together and compete in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The Archery clubs themselves hold regular organized tournaments and fun shoots for members and visitors from other clubs.

We have a Junior Archery organization that caters for young archers under the age of eighteen. JAMA  Junior And Midget Archery. They conduct regional tournaments as well as monthly postal shoots for their members.

Archery New Zealand is a fully voluntary organisation run by a Board of Governors who are elected from within the membership at our Annual General Meetings which are usually held during the course of the National Outdoor Championships. Archery clubs affiliate to Archery New Zealand while still retaining their independence.
