For Competitors And Visitors

Designed for both experienced competitors and curious visitors, the event combines sporting excellence with educational demonstrations, making it accessible even to those seeing horseback archery for the very first time.

As the tournament grows, our goal is to establish it as an annual meeting point for horseback archers from Serbia and abroad, contributing to the development of traditional mounted archery in the region.
