How It Works

1. Register here by purchasing either Indoor distance, outdoor distance or both. 

2. We’ll send you the official KA scorecard—you can print it or fill it out digitally. (this will be sent within 24 hours of registering for the tournament)

3. Shoot your round (indoor, outdoor, or both) and email or, if you’re into stamps you can mail your scorecard and a photo (or the actual target face) to the address given upon registration. 

4. Your score gets posted on our website’s leaderboard

5. Once you submit your score(s) and your target we’ll mail you your hard-earned prize(s)!

The Honor System (a.k.a. Don’t Be That Guy)

We’re trusting you to shoot fair and square. No judges, no refs—just your integrity and a fun-loving community of archers who want to see each other succeed. Bragging rights only mean something if they’re earned!

BATTLE OF THE CLUBS 🎯

We’re inviting NASP clubs, JOAD programs, school teams, local ranges, college teams and archery groups of all ages and kinds to join the tournament and compete together—and there’s a big prize on the line!

🏆 What’s the Prize?

The club/shop with the most score submissions will win a free in-person group lesson and seminar with Jake Kaminski—anywhere in the world. Yes, really. Jake will come to your club, teach your archers, answer questions, and share insights from years of elite competition. At NO COST to the clubs or archers!

📋 How It Works:

Each archer registers individually through the Kaminski Archery store.

Every completed scorecard submitted between now and June 30 counts toward their club’s total (on the score card print the club name clearly)

The club with the highest number of completed submissions (not just signups!) wins the seminar!

🎯 Bonus: This applies to all ages and all levels, including young archers, beginners, NASP-style shooting, elite archers, new archers…everyone.

So if you register for indoor with barebow, go ahead and shoot it again with your compound, trad bow, or Olympic setup. You’ll show up on the leaderboard for all of them! **PLEASE NOTE: you can only submit your score for each style of bow ONCE. Please for the love of archery and the sanity of our team ONLY submit one indoor or outdoor score per bow type.
