The BVI is set to compete against a minimum of five other countries from the region, which include Chile, Bahamas and the US Virgin Islands.
The event also acts as a world ranking event for pro archers.
Coaches who attend with the various teams will also have the opportunity to participate in the elite coaching seminar, which will be conducted by Coach Phil Graves, a USA Archery Level 4 NTS Coach and a National Judge.
