The AA Open Field Championship – now an annual tournament – brings together our best field archers seeking their portion of the $6900 in prize money on offer and the chance to win a Silver Belt Buckle which goes to the winner of each division.
Archers at this year’s tournament will also be seeking selection for the Australian team heading to Yankton USA for the World Field Championships.
The legacy of the 2026 tournament will be Australia’s newest and likely most challenging field course prepared by the dedicated team at HILLS ARCHERS – SA.
The tournament includes an unmarked and marked field round, shot at the red peg distances for Compound and Recurve, with Barebow shooting from the blue distance pegs.
Entries are now closed.
Team captains can register your team via this form – only one team captain needs to complete the form. Teams must be comprised of 1x recurve 1x compound and 1x barebow and be of mixed gender in a team of 3.
