Genesis bows and arrows: what do NASP rules permit?

NASP equipment rules

NASP publishes the 2027 National & Championship Tournament Rules at naspschools.org^[1]. The sections below cover bows, arrows, rests and replacement parts. Check your event’s additional requirements as well.

Genesis bows that meet the NASP rules

NASP rule 3.3.1 permits only the stock, original, unmodified Genesis bow approved for NASP, apart from the allowances the rule book lists^[1]. Compare original Genesis listings below, then check the actual bow and its modifications against the complete rulebook. A name match in the catalog is not an equipment inspection.

NASP rule 3.3.4 requires the bow's axle-to-axle length, measured from the center of each axle, to be no shorter than 35.25 inches^[1].

Stock counts and prices reflect the catalog data used when this page was built. They can change. Check each product listing for current details.

Genesis bows that do not meet the NASP rules

NASP rule 3.3.3 prohibits the Genesis Mini, Genesis Pro and Genesis Gen-X from NASP programs and tournaments^[1]. Listings below distinguish these models from the original Genesis. Their appearance here is not a recommendation for a NASP program.

NASP arrows: original Easton aluminum 1820 only

NASP rule 3.4 permits only the original Easton aluminum 1820 arrows approved for NASP^[1]. Other arrow details are specified separately. NASP rule 3.4.3 requires Easton N nocks, the nocks Easton uses on the 1820 aluminum Genesis arrows^[1]. NASP rule 3.4.4 specifies Easton’s standard NASP glue-in cone point weighing 60 grains^[1]. NASP rule 3.4.5 requires three soft plastic vanes, 2.5 to 3.0 inches long and .4 to .6 inches high, in any brand, shape or cut^[1].

The product block below shows current 1820 arrow and component listings; check each item against the rule before ordering.

NASP targets and faces for school programs

Schools may need replacement faces and bag targets. Product listings below appear when available.

Check the school program's target and face specifications before ordering. Read the current NASP rules and each product listing.

Arrow rests for NASP

NASP rule 3.3.14 permits the standard NASP flipper rest or Genesis Competition rest, subject to its installation requirements^[1]. Check the complete rest rule and the actual product before buying; the rule text does not establish store availability.

Strings and rests that fit a Genesis bow

Compare listed replacement parts against the exact bow specification and NASP rules. Physical fit alone does not establish event eligibility.
