Governing Bodies & Associations

 

FITA: (International Archery Federation)

"FITA serves to promote and regulate archery world-wide through its more than 140 Member Associations (National Federations or Associations) and in conformity with the Olympic principles. It aims at framing and interpreting the FITA Rules and arranging for the organization of World Championships and other international competitions."

 


 

GNAS: (Grand National Archery Association)

"The GNAS is the recognised Governing Body for all forms of archery in the United Kingdom and is currently responsible for approximately 30,000 members. The GNAS is affiliated to the International Archery Federation (FITA) and is a member of the British Olympic Association. Sports Council is also involved, generously providing valuable assistance with the Society's long term plans. By virtue of these affiliations and memberships, archery is represented in the Olympic Games, World and European Championships and other international events. The GNAS is also responsible for its own National Tournaments, usually organised and hosted by leading archery clubs or groups."  

NFAS: (National Field Archery Society)

"The NFAS exists to foster and promote Field Archery as a sport. All our courses are unmarked (i.e. unknown distances), usually situated in woodland, and our targets are predominantly 3D or paper animal faces."
