Alaska State Archery By Laws

Welcome to the land of dreams for bowhunters. The ASAA is dedicated to promoting all types of archery. The ASAA is chartered by the National Field Archery Association. The ASAA supports NAA and FITA style shooting events as well as NFAA shoots. We encourage you to become a member and help our association continue to make the sport of target archery, 3D shoots and bow hunting available in the coming years for those that yearn to watch the flight of the arrow..

This is the only state in the United States of America where you can compete in the State NFAA field shoot and go fishing for King Salmon in a local streams when you are done shooting for the day. In some years the State Field shoot is held in July, and is great practice for heading north to the Dalton Highway when the shoot is over and hunting Caribou.

The following is a list of outdoor and indoor shooting ranges that are available for shooting in the state:

Alaska State Archery: The State Association has a leased range located on Trunk Road at the Matanuska-Susitna College. NOTICE: The range is closed in the evenings. The gate is locked at 10:00 pm.
