Adult Star Pins

Adult Star Pins are awarded for scoring achievements. Adult archers can earn Stars Pins for shooting indoors and/or outdoors with recurve and/or compound bows. A full USA Archery Youth, Adult, or Family membership option is required to participate in the Achievement program.
Each Star Pin is a different color, and each has a successive number of stars on it to represent the increasing challenge in earning that particular award pin. 
In addition to Star Pins, JOAD archers can earn the official "6-Gold" pin when they shoot six 10's in a row - either in a single 6 arrow end, or in two consecutive 3-arrow ends.

ADULT BRONZE, SILVER AND GOLD AWARDS
Adult Archers can earn advanced levels of recognition with Bronze, Silver and Gold pins. USA Archery honors archers who reach these levels with special recognition. To earn an Adult Bronze, Silver or Gold Award the archer will be required to shoot the distance and target face that corresponds to their Class at National Events (i.e. Senior or Master)

 GUIDELINES FOR THE SCORING MATRICES
