On Sunday, November 28, 2010, the North Rhine-Westphalia Championships took place in Erkrath.

Nine teams competed in the team championship. After three rounds, the winners were determined. First place went to a joint team from Kyudo-Aachen e.V. and the Cologne Kyudo Group, consisting of Ulla Haede, Michael Schubert, and Hermann Juli. Second place went to Darlene Maringer, Sarah Pflaumann, and Johannes Maringer, a team from the host club. Third place was also claimed by a team with members from Erkrath: Frank Bittermann and Philipp Fasold from PSV Bottrop were joined by Bernd Rossmüller from the Kyudo Club Neandertal.

In the individual competition, the preliminary round first determined the top 16 archers from a field of 28 participants using four arrows. The individual competition confirmed what had already become apparent in the team competition: this year, it was all about girl power. Following her success in the team event, Ulla Haede from Aachen secured the title of state champion after a thrilling shoot-off against Günther Dauner from the Kyudo Club Neandertal. Third place went to Darlene Maringer, who had also competed for the host club.
