May 23-24, 2026

Compete and test your skills at the Bend Bowmen Archery Club during our first annual Bend Bowmen Archery Challenge. This tournament is built to push archers in four popular formats over two days to determine the best all-around archer. We will have 6 Championship NFAA divisions for those wanting to go for the glory and gold! We will also have a flighted head to head competition with payouts for everyone else. In the flighted competition shoot any bow and arrow combination you like — but you must use the same bow and arrow combination for the entire event. We will be documenting your gear during check in.

Divisions and Flights:

Championship Divisions - Male Freestyle, Female Freestyle, Male Bowhunter Freestyle, Female Bowhunter Freestyle, Male Modern Bowhunter, Female Modern Bowhunter. We will follow NFAA equipment rules for all championship divisions. Ages 15 and older can compete in the Championship Divisions. IMPORTANT NOTE: If a Championship Division does not have 5 or more archers competing in it – archers registered in that division will be moved into flights and given a refund for the difference of registration fee. Another option is to shoot up a division – so if you are registered in Bowhunter Freestyle without enough archers you can stay in Championship but change to Modern Bowhunter Freestyle or Freestyle in your gender – you cannot drop down a division or shoot in another gender.  For the head to head flights there are no shooting classes or divisions. All competitors will be placed into flights based on their total scores at the end of Day One. Flights will range from eight to twelve archers, depending on scores and attendance. 

All Payouts are based on the number of archers in your division or flight. Payouts are created from funds received at registration. Bigger championship divisions with more archers will have bigger payouts. Flighted payouts will be based on total flight registered archers.
