Warringah Archers – 22ND KidBow/Youth Tournament
Also part of Archery NSW Youth Series
The KidBow Tournament is one of Warringah Archers’ feature junior events, giving young archers a proper competition experience while keeping the atmosphere supportive, encouraging and age appropriate. Whether chasing a personal best, a placing, or simply gaining more tournament confidence, this event is about helping junior archers enjoy the challenge of competition.
Warringah Archers will host the 2026 KidBow Tournament on Saturday 7 November 2026 at the Warringah Archers Club Grounds, Northern Beaches Campus, Dee Why West.
This youth target event is designed to encourage junior archers to keep building their competition skills while giving developing archers the opportunity to experience a structured tournament in a friendly club environment. The event is also part of the Archery NSW Youth Series.
Archers will shoot a Newcastle Round, consisting of 90 arrows at 20 metres on a 122cm target face. The round is shot as 15 ends of six arrows, with a short break after every five ends.
Only a small number of junior compound archers have achieved the perfect score of 900 in this event. Could 2026 produce the next one? Could this be the year a recurve archer becomes the first to do it?
