FITA Pins Form |
NOTE:
Book 1, Chapter 6 of the
FITA rule book describes the requirements an archer must meet in order to
obtain a pin for a given score/performance.
There is a
new set of pins for
beginner achievements.
Once you score a particular score at a STAR
FITA event you are entitled to wear a pin on your quiver (or hat, coat,
etc.). The pins are only $5 each. Use this form to request FITA
pins from the NAA (acrobat file) JOAD Coaches - use the beginner pins to
help exemplify progress and promote excellence!
