We warmly invite you to join the first leg of Archallange 2026, which will be hosted by our club in the dreamlike mountain landscapes of Harghita, in Romania’s smallest town, Băile Tușnad.

We are preparing two intense days of shooting for you, on two distinct courses, each featuring 24 3D targets.
On Saturday, archers will be divided between Course A and Course B, shooting in flying start format.
On Sunday, competitors will shoot on the opposite course with 24 3D targets,
followed by 6 additional 3D targets with double scoring, in a finals format with spectators. 

 

We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to a true archery challenge.
