Nearly 2,200 archers from 28 countries turned out for the 2020 Lancaster Archery Classic Jan. 23-26 in Manheim, Pennsylvania. That number includes a record 540 young archers who participated in the Easton Youth and Collegiate Trophy Tournament.

This is the 17th year for the Classic, which has grown into the largest indoor archery tournament on the East Coast. Like the previous three Classics, this year’s event was held at the Spooky Nook Sports Complex, which is a massive indoor facility — 750,000 square feet, nearly 17 acres.

During the 2020 Classic, more than $400,000 was paid out to competitors in the form of prize money, contingencies and door prizes. The top prize of $20,000 was paid to Men’s Open Pro champion Mike Schloesser of the Netherlands. It was Schloesser’s second win in that division at the Classic; he also won in 2017.

Sarah Prieels of United Kingdom won the Women’s Open Pro title for the second time. Her first win came in 2018.

Casey Kaufhold, 15, won her first title in the Women’s Recurve division, after taking second three times previously. Casey is the current points leader among women in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, heading toward the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Brady Ellison won his third Classic title in the Men’s Recurve division. He previously won in 2017 and 2018. Ellison is currently the No. 1 ranked recurve archer in the world, according to World Archery rankings.

One of the fan favorite events during the Classic is the barebow competition, and this year was no exception. A group of 245 barebow archers competed, including 60 women who competed for the first time in the Women’s Barebow division. Previously, the Barebow Division was a combined class for men and women. Tournament organizers recognized the fast-growing numbers in the Barebow Division warranted the creation of separate classes for 2020.

The final matches in all 18 Classic divisions were broadcast live on Lancaster Archery Supply’s YouTube and Facebook pages. Click here to check them out.

The Easton Youth and Collegiate Tournament allowed young archers to compete on the Classic field for a fraction of the Classic cost and for a fraction of the Classic time. In the full Classic, an archer might have to commit three days between qualification, and the elimination and finals matches. But the Youth and Collegiate event was confined solely to January 25.
