The Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation (MCHF) in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation is thrilled to announce the Border Wars Archery Tournament will now be known as The Missouri Archery Classic. The 2026 Missouri Archery Classic, presented by Mid America Bank, will take place at The LINC in Jefferson City over President’s Day Weekend, February 14-15, 2026.
We believe this new name better represents the scope and vision of the event by:
- Being a fun competition for student archers to gain large tournament experience
- Helping teams prepare for the MoNASP State Archery Championship
- Providing another opportunity for archers to qualify for the MoNASP State Archery Championship
Don’t miss out! Archers will compete in elementary, middle and high school divisions per NASP standards. The best teams in each division compete for $1,500 cash, medals and a trophy. Top scoring individuals in each division compete for trophies, medals and cash.
This event is open to the public for a $5 per person entry fee. Children 10 and under are free. Proceeds raised support conservation efforts.
Coaches will receive archer lane assignments and coach lanyards for entry into the tournament at Coaches Check In. If you have less than 12 archers, you’ll be given 1 coach lanyard, if you have more than 12 archers, you’ll be given 2 coach lanyards. If you haven’t paid your registration fees online or by mail, you will be asked to pay at Check In.
