Easton Archery Center of Excellence will be one of the host sites for the 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals and the 2026 USA JOAD Indoor Nationals.

We are excited to open our doors for this competition and to give you the opportunity to compete in this beautiful facility. Located in Southern California, our center provides an excellent competition venue. Archers will be competing in our indoor range which features a clean well-maintained environment, great lighting, controlled temperatures.

Dates & Shooting Line Times

We’re happy to announce we’re hosting over three weekends!

Note: Equipment Inspection will take place 1 hour prior to shooting times listed below.

Joad Shooting Times

This year we will be offering three options over two weekends for JOAD which will allow for more flexibility in planning.

For those shooting both tournaments you have a couple of options;

• Shoot both 2026 USA JOAD Indoor Nationals and 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals in the same weekend. You can still pace yourself over three days and only have to make the trip out once.
  - or -

• Shoot 2026 USA JOAD Indoor Nationals and the 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals on separate weekends! This will give you more time to practice in between, more time to rest between competitions, and an excuse to visit twice!

FAQs

See USA Archery’s 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals Format & Rules

Can I shoot in more than one Location?

An archer may participate at only one location for the 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals and, if you are eligible, in the 2026 USA Archery JOAD Indoor Nationals. An archer is considered a participant after one arrow is shot.

Can I shoot more than one Bow Division?

Yes! Availability permitting, an archer may compete in more than one division (i.e. Compound or Recurve) but may not compete in more than one age class (i.e. U21 or U18).

For example, an archer wishing to shoot in two bow divisions— Recurve and Compound— must do so as Recurve U18 and Compound U18.

Separate fees and a separate registration are required for each category in which an archer intends to shoot. The archer must shoot an additional double round for each entry.

Exception: Archers competing in Collegiate categories shall compete in only 1 division.

If you are interested in competing more than one bow division, please reach out EARLY to the tournament director via email at events.eace@esdf.org as this will require a manual entry for additional registrations.

What target faces will be offered?

No vertical 3-spots will be offered for the 57th Indoor Nationals and 2026 JOAD Indoor Nationals.

Archers have the choice to shoot the following target faces in our EACE facility:

57th Indoor Nationals
All Age Categories & Bow Divisions

• Single Spot 40CM

• Triangle 3-spot 40CM: discipline-specific
