The most prestigious archery tournament in the world, offering over $500,000 in prizes and giveaways. The Vegas Shoot attracts novice to Olympic archers from around the Globe and includes 3- intense days of no error competition. The weekend competition includes the traditional 3-spot 20-yard “Vegas Round” that made this tournament famous. Attendance is expected to reach over 4,000 archers and thousands more spectators.

The Vegas Shoot first took place in 1962 as the Colt-Sahara NFAA Championships. In 2016, we celebrated its 50th occurance.

Through the years, The Vegas Shoot has had many names, locations, format changes, target faces, and champions. One thing has always remained the same; it is the most anticipated and iconic archery tournament of the year.

Bow Storage is a convenient way for you to store your bow near the competition halls. The hotels are large and can become crowded during our event. Bow storage gives you the option of leaving your equipment in a secure location while you check out the trade show, grab a meal, or play the tables. An Event Bow Storage Pass costs $20.00 for the entire weekend.

When traveling between hotel properties, attendees are required to use bow cases. Both the Horseshoe and Paris will provide bow storage areas, allowing archers to travel easily with their equipment between storage, practice, and competition areas. You are not required to purchase a bow storage pass before arriving, but it is recommended for express access.

For the safety and convenience of all hotel guests and hotel staff, bows must be securely cased and/or covered at all times when outside of designated shooting venues. This includes traveling through hotel lobbies, casinos, elevators, and hotel room floors.

To make things easy, we’re giving every archer a soft bow cover in your welcome bag! You’ll get a recurve cover (for recurve shooters) or a compound cover (for compound shooters) in your welcome/goody bag. These covers are designed to go over your bow while it’s set up (minus any long stabilizers) so you can move through the hotels hassle-free. Both hotels are big properties in the middle of the city, with a mix of archers and non-archers staying. This keeps things smooth for everyone. Additionally, both the Horseshoe and Paris properties will offer designated bow storage areas, allowing archers to safely store their equipment and transport it between storage, practice, and competition locations. If you prefer not to use these storage areas, you are welcome to travel back and forth using the provided bow cover or with your bow in its case.

Practice will be available in both the Horseshoe and Paris during the event. View all available practice times on the Schedule page.

Please report to the registration desk. Event staff can verify your registration and update your name badge. If available, bring your registration receipt (or show email copy).

We recommend that you attempt to change your airline flight. We understand that there is the possibility of several line times ranging from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM and it adds guesswork to your travel arrangements. Please do not assume that the time you were assigned last year will be the same this year. When making airline arrangements, leave open the possibility of being assigned the earliest or latest line time each day. We cannot change your line time. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Lost and Found is located at the registration desk in the event lobby.

If you notice a fellow archer has left something behind, please bring it to the registration desk. We try to return all items to the rightful owner.

At the end of the event, lost and found items are turned over to the hotel or packed on the NFAA trucks. Please visit the Contact Us page if you are missing a valuable item and we will do our best to assist you.

In 2017, we updated our divisions to make the names more universal. You can view the old vs. new division names under the Equipment Rules section.
