The Archers logonnais will host their annual archery tournament at the Loperhet sports hall on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with a capacity of 96 archers for each of the two departures, Le Télégramme reported.
Organizers use Loperhet facility for November 11 event
Because the club does not have a sports hall in Logonna, organizers rely on the facility in neighboring Loperhet for their traditional November 11 event, a practice they have maintained for over two decades. “We don’t have a sports hall in Logonna, so we use the Loperhet hall every November 11,” the club explained.
Competitors from 19 clubs in Finistère and two clubs from outside the department will travel to the venue. A large share of the 28 clubs based in Finistère will make the trip.
Archers compete in 37 categories using three bow types
The competition accommodates up to 96 archers across two separate sessions in the morning and afternoon. The afternoon session is fully booked, while a few slots remain available for the morning flight.
Participants will compete using three bow types: barebow without sights, recurve with sights, and compound bows. In total, 37 distinct categories will feature across age groups ranging from under-11 competitors to seniors, including athletes aged 80.
Club maintains 70 members and trains in Logonna
The Archers logonnais currently maintain 70 licensed members, an enrollment figure that has held steady across several seasons. A newly established under-11 group accounts for five children, with capacity to accept up to eight young archers.
Regular training sessions take place at Le Créquin in Logonna inside a dedicated hall, alongside an outdoor field utilized during the spring and summer months.
National championship preparation
Following the Loperhet competition, the club will turn its focus toward a major national event scheduled for late February 2027. In partnership with the departmental committee, the Archers logonnais will organize the French Youth Championship at La Cimenterie in Landerneau.
“We will welcome the 384 best young French archers,” club president Steven Le Calloch stated.
Public can watch tournament and access refreshments
The November 11 tournament at Loperhet is open to the general public with free admission, offering spectators a chance to observe various archery disciplines and support the competitors. The first flight of shooting begins at 8:50 a.m., followed by the second group at 2:05 p.m., and the awards ceremony at 6:15 p.m. A refreshment stand selling sandwiches, cakes, and beverages will operate on site without requiring prior reservations.
