Ok so I have a questions about fita and Joad age groups. Only thing I can find on Fita is from 2012 for age groups . Which states ages 12-14 are cub division but when you go to USA Archery it specifically list through age 12 calendar year being listed as a Bowmen. Did this recently change in fita or are they separate ?

FITA / World Archery doesn't officially recognize any age groups younger than Cadet, which includes up to the calendar year of a person's 17th birthday.

Book 2, Chapter 4, item 4.2
USA Archery recognizes Bowman (10-12) and Cub (13-14). Some other organizations recognize Yeoman (8-9).
The Texas Archery Association has a really good age calculator and notes to use as a reference:

These haven't changed in a while. In fact, I think the age groups are now older than both World Archery's and USA Archery's organization names are...
