The 2022 Final
Last year, the final did not disappoint, and we are sure to see the same world-class standard this time around. For the Compound men, 21-year-old Adam Carpenter won for a third year in a row. Can he make it four?
World-ranked number one Compound woman, Ella Gibson, will be going into the final with the hope of retaining her title from last year. With World Archery bidding for Compound to be added to the 2028 LA Games, come and see the best in the world in action in what could be the newest Olympic sport.
On the Recurve side, new Olympic squad member and rising star Monty Orton has made his mark on the team and will be one to watch out for at the finals.
The Recurve woman world number one Penny Healey is determined to defend her title from 2022, and teammate and world number two Bryony Pitman will also be ready to take that gold medal.
Last year was the first time that Barebow had been introduced to the National Tour Final. This time, we’re bringing the top four men and top four women barebow archers to show what they’re made of. Wilco van Kleef is the current men’s champion, and Helen Brown will be ready to defend her title too.
Come September, the final's field will be set and the cameras will be rolling. We want to see all of you there, cheering on our athletes as they shoot for the UK's biggest archery title. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased from the link below. There will be plenty of seats, an archery have-a-go and refreshments will be on sale.
So bring your family, friends and club mates along and follow the action. It’s going to be a weekend you won’t want to miss!
Cllr Pavlos Kotsonis, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture at Nottingham City Council, said: “We are pleased to welcome the Archery GB National Tour Finals to Wollaton Hall for a second year running.
