Ranks
Archers can earn ranks and corresponding pins as they progress in their development and individual achievement. Ranks are earned for both Recurve (Olympic) and Compound classes, and also indoor and outdoor. Thus, an archer can conceivably earn 4 designations for each rank. For example, an archer working toward her Bowman rank can qualify as Bowman-Recurve both indoor and outdoor and Bowman-Compound both indoor and outdoor. The ranks are a function of distances being shot, and size of the target, and are as follows:
Qualified Archer
Yeoman
Junior Bowman
Bowman

Master Archer
Expert Archer
