The Torneo Nacional de Tiro con Arco 3D San Marcos 2026 concluded successfully in Aguascalientes, Mexico, with winners crowned across multiple categories after two days of competition at Edén Los Sabinos. The event, held April 18–19 as part of the Feria Nacional de San Marcos sports program, drew archers from across Mexico and international participants, reinforcing the region’s growing reputation as a hub for competitive archery.
According to official results published by Agssports, Francisco Flores of Nuevo León took first place in the Scope Compuesto Expertos category, followed by Rodrigo González of Aguascalientes in second and Alejandro Coronel of Querétaro in third. In the Cazador Expertos division, David López representing Mexico City claimed gold, with Jonathan Marroquín of Nuevo León earning silver and Olivero Novoa of Querétaro securing bronze.
Traditional archery disciplines also saw strong regional representation. Miguel Ventura of Jalisco won the Traditional Experto category, ahead of Enrique de la Rocha of Querétaro and David Lozano of Nuevo León. In the Longbow division, Carlos Tueme of Jalisco finished first, with his brother Luis Tueme taking second and Edgar Iván Guerrero of Aguascalientes claiming third.
The Rango (Rangefinder) categories highlighted continued dominance from northern Mexican states. Eduardo García of Nuevo León won Rangefinder Varonil, followed by Diego Coronel of Querétaro and Omar Zamora of Hidalgo. On the women’s side, Brenda González of Aguascalientes took gold in Rangefinder Femenil, with Adriana Santos of Querétaro earning silver and Sofía Nieto of Aguascalientes claiming bronze.
Barebow results were not included in the published summary from Agssports, though the event featured multiple shooting styles simulating real-world hunting scenarios through 3D animal targets placed along natural forest courses at Gran Reserva Sabinos. Organizers confirmed the venue’s suitability for international-level 3D archery, noting its alignment with global standards for the discipline.
The tournament formed one of nine officially sanctioned events in the Feria Nacional de San Marcos 2026 sports program, which ran from April 18 to May 10. Earlier announcements by the Instituto del Deporte del Estado de Aguascalientes (IDEA) had highlighted the archery competition as a key attraction, emphasizing free public access and a $10,000 prize purse to support athlete participation.
More than 160 archers competed, representing 18 Mexican states and teams from the United States, marking the event as one of the largest international 3D archery gatherings in the country that year. Participants navigated elevated shooting platforms and uneven terrain designed to test range estimation, form consistency, and mental focus under variable field conditions.
Local officials cited the event’s success in promoting sports tourism, noting increased hotel occupancy and regional engagement during the competition weekend. No official attendance figures were released by organizers at the time of reporting.
The next major archery event on the national calendar has not been publicly confirmed as of this writing. Athletes and coaches typically shift focus toward regional qualifiers and preparation for upcoming international invitational tournaments later in the year.
