NASP Experiences Participation Growth at the 2025 Western National Tournament

The 2025 National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP®) national tournament series kicked off with the Western National Tournament at the Mountain America Exposition Center in Sandy, Utah on April 25-26, 2025. With the total number of participating archers at 2,795, the 2025 event represents the highest number of participants yet for this event. A total of 2,438 Bullseye archers from 26 states, and 2,061 NASP®/IBO 3D archers from 23 states attended this year’s tournament. For several western archers, this event was the first time they had qualified to attend a NASP® national competition.

NASP® president Tommy Floyd said, “Sandy, Utah continues to be a fantastic location for our NASP® archers to participate. Having the option to participate in this western event, allows NASP® teams, individuals, and families to have a fun and safe day participating in the shooting sports at a more accessible location. Many of these students might not be able to travel to experience our eastern event, and we are so pleased to see this event continue to grow. We continue to be excited about coming back to an even larger event in Sandy, Utah in 2026!”

The incredible growth of this event has been truly inspiring—and for the first time, we added an extra day of competition to make room for all the talent and enthusiasm!”

Scores from both tournaments (Eastern and Western), will then be combined to determine the individuals and teams that will be named as overall National Champions and then qualify to advance to the 2025 NASP® Championship Tournament, to be held June 5-7, 2024, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
