Get rewarded for your membership service! Cumulative NFAA membership is recognized by the awarding of an appropriate lapel pin. Periods of membership awarded are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 years. Pins are automatically awarded by headquarters after the membership anniversary.

Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond in their service to the sport of archery? What about a NFAA Club or Shop in your area that has seen exponential membership growth or has become a pillar in their community due to extraordinary involvement? Each year, members are invited to nominate deserving members and clubs who have made a positive contribution to the sport of archery in their community. The selected winners receive special recognition and awards at the end of the year.

Any member who telescopes an arrow previously lodged in the highest scoring area of a target during an NFAA sanctioned event is eligible for recognition in the Fellowship of Robinhood. Complete the Application for Fellowship of Robinhood, include a picture to document the feat, and display your Award for all to see!

The Compton Medal of Honor is known as the most highly esteemed award presented by the NFAA. It is awarded sparingly and only in recognition of a lifetime of outstanding and unselfish contributions to archery. An NFAA committee is appointed and in charge of safeguarding the future of the award. In conjunction with receiving the Compton Medal of Honor and lapel pin, the recipient will automatically be awarded an Honorary NFAA Lifetime Membership.

The NFAA President’s Award is known as the second highest honor presented by the NFAA and is awarded sparingly in recognition of outstanding service to the archery community. The recipient of the NFAA President’s Award is chosen solely by the current President of the NFAA.

The NFAA Medal of Merit is awarded sparingly in recognition of unselfish contributions to field archery and its closely allied activities. The inscription, “Opera, Artes, Honor” (Works, Skills, Honor) which appear on the medal, serve as the measure.

Worthy members of the NFAA may be nominated for the Medal of Merit by State Directors, Section Councilmen, NFAA Chairmen or the NFAA Council.
