Until its temporary end in 2014, the Golden Bow of Basel was one of the most important and traditional tournaments in European archery, which had been held annually since the 1970s and regularly attracted more than 100 participants from all over the world to northwestern Switzerland. 

After the World Archery Federation abolished the “classic” Olympic archery competition (“double FITA”) in 2014, the Golden Bow initially took a break.

With the 47th Golden Bow of Basel in May 2019, the traditional tournament could be held again in a new format. It hurts us all the more that the Golden Bow of Basel was and is still not feasible with the usual standard in 2020 – 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

We are committed to run our tournament in 2023 to our usual standard.

We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
