DUBLIN, Ohio – Registration is now open for the Rebel Gear Buckeye Classic, the fourth and final stop in the 2026 United States Archery Team (USAT) Qualifier Series and the last opportunity for senior barebow, compound and recurve archers to secure their place in the USAT Series Final.
Held annually in Ohio, the Buckeye Classic follows three earlier USAT Qualifier Series events on the national calendar - the Easton Foundations Gator Cup, the Easton Foundations Salt Lake Summit (senior, para, 50+, followed by youth/para youth), and the Easton Foundations SoCal Showdown - each of which helps determine the nation’s top-ranked archers.
The Rebel Gear Buckeye Classic represents a pivotal moment in the series, as it provides the final chance for athletes in the senior barebow, compound and recurve divisions to earn the right to qualify for the USAT Series Final, scheduled for August 12 in Springfield, Missouri, just ahead of the 142nd USA Archery Target Nationals and 2026 U.S. Open.
The Buckeye Classic has grown into one of the most anticipated events on the national archery calendar, welcoming elite archers from across the United States who are looking to strengthen their rankings, gain valuable competitive experience and take one final step toward the United States Archery Team. With the stakes high and the season nearing its climax, the Rebel Gear Buckeye Classic promises a competitive field.
An early bird registration fee runs through June 25. Registration deadline is July 3.
NOTE: Coach Credentials will NOT be sold on-site. All purchases must be made in advance. Online registration will close on July 10, at 11:59 pm MT.
