USA Archery Target Nationals & U.S. Open Headed to Springfield

The 141st USA Archery Target Nationals & U.S. Open will be organized in Springfield, Missouri, at Betty & Bobby Allison Sports Town, a complex that includes 12 outdoor sports fields over its 82 acres.

The nation’s best archers next year will compete from August 13–16. The 2025 Nationals take place a few days before the World Archery Youth Championship in Winnipeg, Canada, and a few weeks prior to the World Archery Championships and the World Archery Para Championships, both of which will be in Korea.

“This is a tremendous honor for the Springfield community to host such a prestigious national event,” said Stan Adams, director of sports business development for the Greater Springfield Area Sports Commission. “It means we have an opportunity to share the countless reasons why Springfield, Missouri, is the premier sporting city that we already know it to be.”

This year’s Target Nationals & U.S. Open was between the Olympic and Paralympic Games on the calendar. It featured Olympic medalists Brady Ellison and Casey Kaufhold, as well as soon-to-be Paralympic champion Jason Tabansky.

“One of the standout features of AST is its proximity to Springfield’s airport, making it easily accessible for archers traveling from across the country,” said Chris Martin, general manager of Allison Sports Town. “With direct flights from cities like Chicago and Denver, teams can get here easily and once they arrive, they’ll have everything they need right here at the facility.”
