2026 Compton Traditional Rendezvous! Historic First Year in Indiana!

2026 Compton Traditional Rendezvous | FIRST YEAR in Indiana! | Whiskey City Trad Gear For more than 25 years, the Compton Traditional Rendezvous has been one of the premier gatherings in traditional archery. This year marked the beginning of a new chapter as the event made its historic move from Berrien Springs, Michigan, to the incredible Koteewi Archery Range in Noblesville, Indiana. Founded in 1999, Compton Traditional Bowhunters was created by a group of passionate traditional bowhunters who believed the stickbow community deserved an organization dedicated solely to promoting, preserving, protecting, and advancing traditional archery and bowhunting. Inspired in part by Glenn St. Charles' vision and built around education, ethics, conservation, and fellowship, Compton has grown into The National Traditional Bowhunting Organization, bringing together members from all 50 states, Canada, Europe, and beyond. For over two decades, the annual Compton Traditional Rendezvous became legendary in Berrien Springs, Michigan, where thousands of traditional archers created lifelong memories. The event is known for much more than 3D shooting—it features aerial targets, novelty shoots, seminars, youth programs, vendors, campfire fellowship, raffles, auctions, and some of the best camaraderie you'll find anywhere in the traditional archery world. The 2024 Rendezvous celebrated 25 years in Berrien Springs before the move to Indiana. Now, the tradition continues at Koteewi Archery Range in Noblesville, Indiana, and this video captures the excitement of that historic first year. 🏹 In this video you'll experience: Complete coverage of the 2026 Compton Traditional Rendezvous Over 1 hour and 30 minutes of traditional archery action Hundreds of traditional archers from across the country Vendor Village Amazing handcrafted bows and gear 3D courses Novelty shoots Interviews and event highlights The unmatched fellowship that makes Compton special Whether you shoot a longbow, recurve, selfbow, or simply appreciate traditional archery, this event belongs on your bucket list.
