2026 Bowhunter Jamboree
Get ready for a weekend packed with archery, adventure, and community spirit at the 2026 Bowhunters Jamboree!
From April 24–26, archers of all ages and skill levels will gather for one of the most anticipated events of the year. Participants will have the chance to test their accuracy and endurance by shooting two rounds of 50 3D targets. Completing both rounds makes shooters eligible to win a wide range of prizes.
Beyond the main competition, the Jamboree offers plenty of opportunities for fun and connection. The popular fun shoot invites everyone to participate in a more casual setting.
Free on-site camping makes it easy to stay close to the action and enjoy the full experience. Gather around the campfire, share stories, and connect with fellow bowhunters who share a passion for the outdoors and the thrill of the hunt.
Whether coming to compete, learn, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, the 2026 Bowhunters Jamboree promises a memorable weekend filled with great shooting, good company, and lasting memories.

Range Etiquette
- When shooting on the archery trails, there is not walking back on the trail for safety reasons. Please follow the posted arrows for the direction on and off the course.
- Establish a shooting line so no one is ahead of other shooters. Shoot your arrows only down field at targets;
- Wait until all shooters are done. Call “CLEAR”, make sure it is clear and proceed to retrieve arrows;
- Leave your bow in front of a target when hunting for arrows so people know that you are there;
- If you have found your arrows and someone is looking, help them out;
- As a courtesy, do not spend a great deal of time looking for arrows when there is a group waiting to shoot. Remember the spot and look at the end of shooting; and
