Foley, Ala. — (OBA) —  Foley is set to welcome collegiate archers from across the country for one of the sport's premier national competitions. USA Archery, in partnership with the Archery Shooters Association, is hosting the 2026 HotelPlanner USA Archery Collegiate 3D Nationals at Graham Creek Nature Preserve. The event will feature four disciplines: barebow recurve, compound, fixed pins, and recurve. The final shootdown, banquet, and awards ceremony will be held at the Foley Event Center.

The three-day competition is scheduled for October 15–17, 2026, at the Graham Creek Interpretive Center, 23030 Wolf Bay Drive, Foley. This marks the 10th edition of the event, held on the grounds of Graham Creek Nature Preserve. The registration deadline for participating archers is October 9, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time.

The entry fee is $150 per archer and includes lunch on Thursday and Friday, plus a ticket to the Saturday evening banquet. Archers who need to cancel may do so for a refund — minus service fees — by the October 9 deadline. We will process refunds after the event concludes, and processing fees are nonrefundable.
