Who is the MAA?
The Minnesota Archers Alliance, MAA, is the NAA and NFAA affiliate in the state of Minnesota. The MAA is dedicated to promoting NAA and NFAA archery at the state, national and world levels, allowing you, the Minnesota archer, the opportunity to take your archery as far as you desire.
Do I have to belong to both the NAA and NFAA?
No. The two organizations share reciprocity. Membership in either organization allows you to compete in the other organization's events as an equal member.
If I am already an NFAA or NAA member, am I automatically a member of the MAA?
No. The MAA is a State organization that will conduct NAA and NFAA sanctioned tournaments. To participate in those events you must be a member of the MAA and either national archery organization.
Will I be allowed to participate in MAA events if I am not a member of the NAA or NFAA?
Yes. You are welcome to shoot as a guest at MAA events, but you will not be eligible for prizes or State records. Your scores will be posted on the MAA website under the Guest division.

The MAA will host a number of tournaments. These will include indoor and outdoor events. The indoor events will include an NFAA 300, 18m FITA I, 25m FITA II, JOAD Indoor Championships. The outdoor events will include an 810 Rounds, NFAA Field and The Voyageur Cup State FITA and, JOAD Championships.

The dress code is very simple. No camo. Pants need to be navy blue, Khaki, or white (no denim is allowed) and shirts need to be "professional".

No - If you want to participate in the official NAA or NFAA sanctioned tournaments you must be a member of the MAA and the NFAA or NAA.
What does my club need to do to transition from MSAA to MAA?
The club needs to be 50% MAA members and a minimum of five members need to be NFAA members to qualify for the NFAA insurance program. To strengthen archery and the organizations that provide services, insurance, national recognition, tournaments, coaching, archery information, and awareness of archery opportunities the MAA strongly urges all MAA members to be members of the NFAA and NAA when possible.
