THE SEASON

A Winter League That Spans the State

SYWAT runs across the winter season from October to February, giving archers repeated opportunities to test form and consistency across hosted events.

THE VENUE

Local Shops and Clubs Host the Action

Tournaments are organized by a rotating roster of shops and clubs around the state, each hosting a standalone event as part of the aggregate league.

THE PRIZE

Compete for the SYWAT Aggregate/Tour Champion

While any archer can participate in the individual tournaments, only NFAA/TFAA members may vie for the statewide SYWAT Aggregate/Tour Champion award—N.F.A.A. divisions and shooting styles govern eligibility.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

A typical SYWAT stop is a focused, four-hour competition session where archers register, shoot under N.F.A.A. rules within their division and style, and tally scores for that event—each stop is one piece of the larger statewide aggregate that runs through the winter months.

Suitability

4
Non‑MembersNon-members may enter individual events at host shops and clubs but are not eligible to compete for the SYWAT Aggregate/Tour Champion award unless they hold NFAA/TFAA membership.
