Dafne Quintero Sets the Pace in Coahuila Compound Bow Circuit
The archery scene in Coahuila is seeing a surge of momentum, with Monclova’s own Dafne Quintero emerging as a central figure in the region’s compound bow competitions. As the 2026 season unfolds, Quintero is not merely participating. she is hunting for the repetition of past glories in tournaments that highlight her influence on the sport.
For those unfamiliar with the technical side of the sport, the compound bow used by Quintero and her peers utilizes a system of cables and pulleys. This mechanical advantage allows for greater precision and power compared to traditional bows, making the “libre” or open compound category one of the most competitive disciplines in the field.
Chasing a Repeat in Monclova
The start of the year brought significant focus back to Monclova with the return of the Abierto de Arquería. For Dafne Quintero, the event is more than just another stop on the calendar. Reports from early January indicate that Quintero is seeking to repeat a championship victory she secured during the first edition of the tournament—an event that notably carries her own name.
Returning to a tournament that honors a previous victory creates a unique psychological pressure, but it likewise establishes Quintero as a benchmark for other athletes in the region. Her presence in Monclova serves as a catalyst for the local archery community, bridging the gap between emerging talent and established championship standards.
Mixed Team Success in Saltillo
Quintero’s impact extends beyond individual accolades. In Saltillo, she partnered with Sebastián García to compete in the mixed team final. Competing in the open compound category, the duo represented Coahuila in a high-stakes environment, demonstrating the depth of talent currently residing within the state’s archery programs.
The mixed team format requires a high level of synchronization and mental fortitude, as the pressure of the final round often amplifies the difficulty of the shot. The collaboration between Quintero and García underscores a strategic effort to develop versatility across different competition formats.
A Strong Compound Bow Contingent
As the season progressed into March, the focus shifted toward a broader group of athletes aiming for the top of the podium. Quintero remains a primary threat in the compound bow division, but she is flanked by a competitive cohort of Coahuilense archers.
Along with Quintero and Sebastián García, the compound bow lineup includes several key names vying for victory:
