Thank you for your interest in the USA Archery Judges Program.

Our program is one of learning and requires a desire to excel as a Judge. A Judge must agree to comply with established standards in place for re-certification.


You will receive Judge Bulletins, case studies (which you are required to answer), correspondence regarding the O&RC (Officials and Rules Committee) activities and World Archery rule changes and interpretations. We are responsible to the archers and the tournament organizers to be the best that we can be in our supportive role as Judges. The O&RC will always be at your disposal to offer assistance that you may require.


To apply to be accepted as a Judge Candidate you must:

In order to complete the test, you will require an up-to-date World Archery Rule book.
For the most current World Archery Rule book, click here.

Return the application and test to the address on the application, along with a payment for $35.00; make checks payable to USA Archery.


If you pass, you will receive a voucher for the Judge Guidelines Manual and for one(1) Judge's shirt. A name badge will be mailed to you later. Your name will be added to our mailing list for Judge Bulletins and other correspondence.


Your training will consist primarily at being involved at the State and Regional level working along side more experienced Judges. If you wish you can get involved at a National level working USA Archery's championships and trials events. If you choose to progress as a Judge, you can move on to the Regional, National, Continental and International Judge levels.
