Welcome to Raising an Archer
In this episode, we break down USA Archery Indoor Nationals and the USAT Qualifier Series—what they are, how they work, and why they matter. Whether you're a parent, athlete, or coach, this episode explains how these events fit into the USA Archery competitive pathway and what archers can expect at each level.
Know Your Bow Class: USA Archery vs. NFAA Bow Classes Confused about bow classes, divisions, and what actually belongs on your setup? You're not alone and that's exactly why we made this episode.
In this episode, we break down the bow classes for both USA Archery and NFAA, explaining:
- ✅ The differences between Recurve, Barebow, Compound, Bowhunter, and Freestyle
- ✅ What equipment is allowed vs. illegal in each class
- ✅ The new NFAA Modern Bowhunter
We also play a fun "Hit or Miss" rule-check game where we test common setups and tell you if they're legal in each association.
Whether you're a new archer, a competing athlete, a parent trying to register your kid correctly, or a coach building a program, this episode will save you from costly mistakes and give you confidence on the shooting line.
Parents Behind the Line: What We're Really Thinking
Ever wonder what's going through a parent's mind while their kid's at full draw? Spoiler alert: it's not always calm and quiet!
Join hosts Scott and Kari, along with youth archers Milla and Ellie, as they pull back the curtain on the unspoken world of archery parents — the nerves, the pride, the rules we pretend to know, and the moments that make it all worth it.

The Aggie Invite is back — and it's bigger than ever! In this special episode of Raising an Archer, Scott and Kari dive deep into one of the most exciting tournaments of the indoor season. From the history and traditions that make the Aggie Invite so unique to what archers can expect on the line this year, we will cover it.
Learn what sets this event apart, and get insider tips on how to prepare for the atmosphere, pressure, and fun that only College Station can deliver. With great competition, awesome people, and that signature Aggie energy, this episode captures everything that makes this tournament a must-attend for Texas archers.
So grab your bow, grab your boots, and get ready to experience the heart and soul of the Aggie Invite — where precision meets tradition and every arrow counts!
In this episode of Raising an Archer: Indoor Season, Scott and Kari break down all the indoor target faces — from the classic Vegas 3-spot to the NFAA 5-spot and everything in between. They share how each format changes your scoring, practice, and mindset, plus a few pro tips.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned archer chasing those X's, this episode helps you understand the targets.
Part 2 – The Gear Reset: Tuning for Indoors
It's time to hit the reset button. Outdoor season is over, and that means your setup needs a fresh look before heading indoors. In this episode, Scott and Kari break down everything that changes when the range gets shorter but the precision expectations skyrocket.
From adjusting draw weight and arrow selection to fine-tuning your rest, nock fit, and timing — this is your complete guide to making your bow "indoor ready." They'll share practical tips, discuss common tuning mistakes, and explain how the smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference in tight-scoring environments.
Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just making your first transition to indoor season, this episode helps you lock in your gear, your confidence, and your scores.
🎧 Tune in, take notes, and get ready to make every shot count — inside the 10 ring.
The outdoor season is over — it's time to trade the wind, sunburn, and mosquitoes for bright lights, packed ranges, and the sound of arrows echoing off the walls. In this first episode of our Indoor Season Series, we explore what it really takes to make the shift from outdoor archery to indoor precision.
Join Scott and Kari as they break down the big switch — from 70/60/50/40/30 meters to 20 yards, and from endurance to absolute accuracy. We will talk about how environmental changes affect performance, what makes the indoor game such a mental test, and how to reset expectations for scoring and mindset.
Special guest Cole joins the conversation to share his perspective on adapting to the indoor season — from his personal training routines to his first indoor experience. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or stepping onto the line for your first Vegas round, this episode will help you fine-tune your focus and embrace the challenge.
🎯 Key Takeaway: Outdoors is about endurance. Indoors is about precision.
Listen now and get ready to hit the 10-ring this indoor season.

Scott and Wendi sit down with TFAA Hall of Fame inductee Toby Ragsdale. Always a preasure to hang with our friend Toby!
The Ragsdale family joined the NFAA/TFAA in 1965, when Toby was just 5 years old. He vividly remembers that year because he was one year shy of being able to compete, which didn’t sit well with the naturally competitive young Toby. Toby only waited that one year before he began competing with his bow. Toby had tremendous success as a young archer and if you shot back in those days, you knew the archers in Texas were the most dominating and competitive group of shooters in the country.
Toby Ragsdale won two (2) National Championships, at least seven (7) Sectional Championships, and six (6) State Championships. At the young age of 62, Toby has won at least one archery championship in each of the last six decades.
