Overview
In the lands of ancient Nitra, where the memory of Great Moravia still lives, archers gather to meet in tradition, discipline, and respect for the old ways.
This gathering is not only a tournament. It is a meeting of people who follow the path of traditional archery — a path that connects craft, history, discipline, and respect for nature. In the region once ruled by the princes of Great Moravia, we meet not as competitors alone, but as participants in a living tradition.
The arrow does not seek the target, it simply finds its way when the mind is no longer in the way. Discipline is not a restriction, but the architecture of freedom.
