PSAA Classification Information

​

The PSAA uses a classification system to allow archers to compete against other archers shooting at a similar scoring level.  This is an important process and needs to be completed before attending a State Tournament.  You can classify at a Regional shoot or at any PSAA member club.  If your club is not a PSAA member, contact your regional delegate for help.  If you are not classified prior to a State Tournament, you will be placed in the top class of your division for the tournament.  The only classification cards that will be accepted at the tournament will be the Official PSAA Classification Card.   You can find more information about the classification process  by clicking here.
