A Trusted Indoor Target Face for NFAA Archers
If you spend any time in a heated archery hall during the cold months, you know the indoor scene runs on paper. The target face pinned to each bale is the most important piece of paper in the room. The Maple Leaf Press NFAA Double Sided Indoor Target Face, 100 Pack is one of the most recognizable faces in that lineup, and for a lot of leagues across the country it is the standard.
This Product Spotlight walks through why that target face has earned its place, who benefits from a 100 pack, and how to get the most out of every sheet you pin up.

Designed for the Indoor Round, Built for the Long Session
Indoor archery has a problem outdoor archery does not. You shoot the same target, from the same distance, over and over, and every arrow lands within a few inches of the last. That concentrates damage onto a tiny patch of paper. Cheap faces tear out after a single end and force you to swap the face every few rounds, wasting time and making scoring arguments inevitable.
The 75 lb card stock used here resists that wear far longer than office-grade paper. The fibers hold the arrow shaft cleanly, so when you pull it out, the hole stays a hole instead of a ragged slot. Scoring lines stay readable and the X ring stays defined, so judges can apply tape to a questionable shot without arguing whether the line was originally there.
The double sided design is the other quiet win. The single spot side is the classic NFAA face. Flip it over and the same sheet becomes a five spot for league night, where each shot goes to a different small face. One sheet, two practice modes.
Why This Target Face Earns a Spot on Our Indoor Aisle
Plenty of paper targets pass through the warehouse. The Maple Leaf Press NFAA face keeps getting reordered for a few specific reasons.
NFAA scoring rings are correctly sized and printed
If your league or tournament uses NFAA rules, the scoring rings on this face match the official dimensions. That sounds obvious, but plenty of generic targets are close, not exact. When you are shooting a 300 round and an arrow is touching a line, you want a face that was printed to spec.
High-contrast color blocks make scoring easy at distance
The deep blue rings against the white background are easy to read across an indoor lane. Spotting scopes pick up the scoring lines cleanly. New archers can call their own shots without squinting, and judges working the line can settle questions quickly.
The five spot back is true to format
Indoor five spot leagues have specific spot placement and ring size standards. The five spot side here is laid out correctly, so a league night practiced on these faces transfers directly to a tournament shot in the same format.
The 100 pack lasts a serious season
For a single archer practicing two or three nights a week, a hundred faces is roughly a winter. For a small club or family, it is a season's worth of supply you can dip into without reordering.
Where the Maple Leaf NFAA Face Earns Its Keep
The competitive indoor season
From late fall through early spring, indoor leagues run weekly across most of the country. The single spot side is the standard NFAA round. If you are shooting a sanctioned league or qualifying for a state or regional event, this is the face to practice on. A tournament face identical to your practice face removes one variable under pressure.
League night five spot rounds
Flip the face over and you have the five spot, the format most casual indoor leagues run on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Each archer shoots one arrow at each spot, scores out, and rotates. Because the spots are small and separated, you cannot stack arrows in one hole the way you can on the single face. It rewards consistent form across multiple aim points.
Coach-led group sessions
Coaches can use the single spot side to teach grouping and scoring fundamentals, then flip to the five spot for spot-to-spot transition. One box of paper, two lesson plans.
Backyard and garage range practice
Plenty of archers in the Lotz Outdoors community shoot a foam bag at home. Pinning a real NFAA face to that backstop turns practice from rough plinking into structured score tracking. You can run a full 300 round on a Saturday morning and know where you stand.
Club open shoots and fundraisers
Clubs that host open shoots burn through faces fast. A 100 pack covers a long event night, and the durability means each face supports more archers before it has to be swapped.
Is This the Right Indoor Target Face for Your Setup?
Here is the honest cut. This face is for archers who shoot indoor NFAA format, either competitively or as their main winter practice routine. If that describes you, the value of a 100 pack is straightforward: a full season of correct, durable, dual-format faces at a per-sheet cost that beats buying small packs over and over.
If you mostly shoot 3D outdoors, World Archery (FITA) format, or hunt-focused vital-zone targets, this is not your primary face. You can still use these for indoor offseason training, but they are not the format you will see at a 3D shoot in June.
If you shoot once a month and only need a handful of faces, the 100 pack is more than you need on day one. The good news is the paper does not expire. Boxes get passed around to club mates and friends, and a box that lasts three winters is still cheaper per sheet than buying ten-packs.
Common Questions About the Maple Leaf NFAA Target Face
Is this an official NFAA face?
Yes. Maple Leaf Press is one of the recognized manufacturers of official NFAA indoor target faces. The scoring rings on the single spot and five spot sides are printed to NFAA dimensions, which is what makes them suitable for sanctioned league and tournament play.
What does double sided mean in practice?
Each sheet has a single spot target on one side and a five spot target on the other. You pin the face up with whichever side faces forward, depending on the format you are shooting. When that side is shot out, you can flip the same sheet and use the other side for additional practice.
How many arrows can one face take?
That depends on group size, arrow diameter, and how tight you shoot. As a rough guide, expect one face to support a full league night for one or two archers before the X ring breaks down. Switching between sides extends the useful life of each sheet.
What card stock weight is used?
75 lb card stock. That is heavier than standard copier paper and is the weight commonly used for indoor archery faces. It holds arrow shafts cleanly without ripping into long tears and resists wrinkling when pinned to a foam or straw bale.
Do I need a specific backstop?
Use any quality target butt rated for your draw weight and arrows: foam block, layered foam, compressed straw, or commercial bag target. The face is paper, so the stopping power comes from the backstop. Pin flat with push pins or T-pins at the corners.
Can I write on the face for record keeping?
Yes. The card stock takes ballpoint pen, marker, and pencil cleanly. Many archers note date, score, and arrow set in the white margin to compare faces later.
Are these legal for sanctioned competition?
For NFAA-sanctioned indoor competition, these official-format faces meet the printed standard. Always confirm your specific event's rules and host club, since some tournaments specify a particular face or color version.
A Tip From the Lotz Outdoors Bench
Two small habits make a 100 pack last longer. First, rotate the face on the bale each time you swap it. A new face pinned in a slightly different position means arrow holes from previous faces are not stacked behind the new X ring, which keeps holes cleaner and your bale lasting longer. Second, do not toss a face the moment it has holes in the X. Flip it over to the unused side, get another session out of it, and only retire the sheet when both sides are spent. Across a full season, that habit can effectively double the useful life of every box you buy.
Indoor Archers Who Should Stock This Target Face
- League archers shooting NFAA indoor format on a regular schedule
- Competitive archers preparing for state, regional, or national indoor tournaments
- Coaches teaching scoring fundamentals to juniors, new adults, or mixed groups
- Club armorers stocking faces for open shoots, family nights, or fundraisers
- Home and garage range archers who want structured score tracking instead of casual plinking
- Compound and recurve shooters alike, since NFAA indoor format welcomes both
- Anyone whose winter range time would benefit from a clean, properly sized face every session
