Connect with the Pros

The 2026 Lancaster Archery Classic once again will include the Connect with the Pros event, where kids can meet and interact with their favorite archery professionals.

Connect with the Pros will take place on Friday night, Jan. 23, from 4:30-6 p.m. in Big Shot Practice Hall 2, located on the first floor, toward the rear of Spooky Nook Sports Complex. 

The event will overlap the 4:30 p.m. qualification line at the Classic, so parents should keep that in mind when registering kids for their competition time at the tournament.

Among the pros tentatively scheduled to be on hand for the meet-and-greet are:

HOYT: Casey Kaufhold, Brady Ellison, Katie Bordwell, Mike Schloesser, Gaby Schloesser, Tanja Gellenthien, Reo Wilde, Toja Ellison

MATHEWS: Levi Morgan, Bodie Turner, Dan McCarthy, Emily McCarthy, Chris Perkins, Kyle Douglas, Cara Kelly

BOWTECH: Paige Pearce

PSE: Mathias Fullerton

That’s just a sampling, as we expect many more pros representing the major bow manufacturers to be on hand for this event.

Connect with the Pros is free to attend. Pros will answer questions, share their archery knowledge, pose for photos and sign autographs. If you don’t have something of your own to sign, targets will be provided on site for that purpose. And we’ll once again have free Lancaster Archery swag to give out to attendees.
