What is a perfect NFAA indoor score?

300: all 60 arrows in the white 5-ring. Strong compound archers shoot 300 often enough that results are quoted with the X-count, as in "300 58X", and the X-count separates them. A perfect round with every arrow in the X is written 300 60X.

Should I shoot the single-spot or the five-spot face?

Most compound archers shoot the five-spot, and many recurve, barebow and traditional archers use the single-spot face, but which face a division may use is set by the rules of the event or league. Check the rulebook for your round and division before your first league night.

Is the NFAA indoor round the same as World Archery indoor?

No. The NFAA round is 60 arrows at 20 yards on a blue face scored 1 to 5, for a maximum of 300. The World Archery indoor round is 60 arrows at 18 metres on a ten-ring 40 cm face scored 1 to 10, for a maximum of 600.

The NFAA indoor round is the National Field Archery Association's standard indoor round: 60 arrows at 20 yards, shot in 12 ends of five, on a blue face with a white centre. The centre scores 5 and each blue ring one point less, so a perfect round is 300, with Xs counted to break ties.

The single-spot NFAA indoor face is 40 cm across. The white 5-ring in the middle is 8 cm wide with a 4 cm X-ring inside it, and blue rings around it score 4, 3, 2 and 1. Arrows only need to touch a line to take the higher value. The NFAA X is the same 4 cm as the ten-ring on a World Archery 40 cm face.

Most compound archers shoot the five-spot version: five small spots on one 40 cm sheet, one arrow per spot per end. Each spot keeps only the white 5 with its X and a blue band that scores 4; anything outside a spot is a miss. The five-spot keeps arrows apart and turns the round into a precision test. At the top level the question is not whether you shot 300 but how many of the 60 arrows were Xs.

The round is the backbone of NFAA indoor competition. Clubs run it as a weekly league, and the NFAA Indoor Nationals are shot as two 300 rounds for a maximum of 600. Xs are always counted and used as tie-breakers, and in professional shoot-offs only the X scores 5. Divisions differ in which face they shoot and in younger age groups the distance is shorter, so check the rulebook for your round and division.

It also makes a good benchmark for anyone who shoots indoors without competing. The format is fixed, the maximum is easy to remember, and five-arrow ends give enough arrows to see a pattern. Shooting the same round once a week through the winter, on the same face, gives you a clean record of whether your score and X-count are moving.
