Scores of Archers shoot for Gold at Archery Guyana’s 2025 National Indoor Championships
Kaieteur Sports – While heavy rainstorms enveloped Guyana last weekend, it made for ideal environment for indoor archery, as proven over the weekend when Archery Guyana successfully hosted the 2025 National Indoor Archery Championships at the Sophia Exhibition Centre. The Federation motivated some 43 archers and their support personnel from across Guyana to brave the weather and come out to give an impressive display of precision, discipline, competitive excellence and mental fortitude in high level competition.
The two-day championship showcased the nation’s expanding talent pool across archery disciplines of recurve, compound, and barebow divisions. On Saturday morning Archery Athletes left their homes amongst the croaking of frogs and persistent pitter patter of raindrops making the damp journey to compete in qualification rounds in the sport they love. Sunday was a similar in nature before the start of elimination matches and finals. Results of these championships contribute to national rankings and data collection to be used for national team consideration and historical records, reinforcing the importance within the local archery calendar of these ranking events.

The 2025 National Indoor Championships represent another important milestone in the continued growth and development of archery in Guyana and attracted participation from various clubs such as Bow Nation, Golden League Archery, Pro Archers Guyana, Qayyim Archery and independent archers.
