About the Event

Join the San Diego Archers for the San Diego Open, a two-part tournament held at the San Diego County Fairgrounds in the Del Mar Arena. Compete in a dynamic 3D course and/or a precision Olympic-style target round — all in one exciting day of competition.

This event will also serve as a public exhibition of archery, introducing San Diego County Fair attendees to the sport while helping grow interest and membership in the San Diego Archers community.

Admission tickets to the San Diego County Fair are included with registration. Participants will also receive access to designated event participant/vendor parking with a private equipment entrance, making it easy to bring bows, cases, and gear directly into the venue.

Cash prizes will be awarded in each class and tournament division. Prize payout amounts and the number of places awarded will vary based on the number of registered participants in each class and event.
