One Spot Target	Three Spot Target	Each cell contains the male distance in meters (blue), female distance in meters (red), and target diameter in centimeters for a one spot target. NAA Senior division is equivalent to FITA Senior division. NAA Master division (aka Master 50+) is equivalent to FITA Master division. NAA Junior division is equivalent to FITA Junior division. FITA also recognizes 25 meters distance indoors, and even a combination 18/25 round, but they are rarely used in the US. Archers who qualify for a particular division automatically are eligible for more competitive divisions if they choose to use them. For example, cadets are eligible to compete as Junior or Senior, Master 70+ are eligible to compete as Master or Senior as well.
