In a weekend that cemented their status as Argentina’s premier archery club, Club Tiro y Gimnasia dominated the II Copa San Francisco de Tiro con Arco, held at the Estadio Superdomo de La Rioja. The event, organized by the Club de Tiro con Arco de la Asociación Familia Piemontesa, saw over 100 archers compete across 12 ranked categories, including adaptive archery divisions. Club Tiro y Gimnasia’s archers secured multiple podium finishes and earned promotions across several categories, marking a historic performance for the club.

The Superdomo, a multi-purpose indoor arena with a capacity of 11,000 for sports events, transformed into a hub of precision and competition. The tournament was officially sanctioned by the Federación Argentina de Tiro con Arco (FATARCO), ensuring rankings and results would carry weight in the national standings.

Podiums and Category Promotions: A Historic Weekend

Sources confirm that Club Tiro y Gimnasia’s archers achieved unprecedented success at the event, with multiple athletes earning gold, silver, and bronze medals across junior, senior, and adaptive categories. Notably, the club’s archers secured promotions in at least three categories, a feat that positions them as frontrunners for the upcoming national championships.

Although exact medal counts and individual names have not been officially released, the event’s organizers and FATARCO have confirmed the club’s dominance. The Superdomo’s atmosphere was electric, with spectators filling the stands to witness the high-stakes competition. The event likewise included a strong adaptive archery contingent, reflecting the sport’s growing inclusivity in Argentina.

Why It Matters: A Step Toward National Titles

The II Copa San Francisco de Tiro con Arco serves as a critical qualifier for Argentina’s national archery team. Club Tiro y Gimnasia’s success positions them as strong contenders for the Campeonato Argentino de Tiro con Arco, scheduled later this year. The club’s archers have already demonstrated their prowess in indoor competitions, and their recent promotions signal a strategic advantage in the lead-up to the nationals.

For Club Tiro y Gimnasia, this weekend’s results are more than just medals—they represent a turning point, according to a spokesperson for the club. The promotions earned in multiple categories will allow their athletes to compete at higher levels in future tournaments, including the Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe Santo Domingo 2026, where Argentina is expected to field a strong team.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Club Tiro y Gimnasia?

With the national championships on the horizon, Club Tiro y Gimnasia’s archers will now focus on refining their techniques and preparing for the next round of competitions. The club’s dominance at the Superdomo has also drawn attention from national selectors, who are likely to consider their athletes for key positions in the Argentine team.

The next major checkpoint for the club will be the III Copa San Francisco de Tiro con Arco, tentatively scheduled for late 2026. In the meantime, fans and athletes alike will be closely watching their progress as they aim to build on this weekend’s success.
