The Vegas Shoot basics

Archers shoot 30 arrows per day at a 40 cm target that’s 20 yards away. The targets can have a single aiming spot or three, depending on the archer’s preference. The rings are worth from ten to one point. The ten ring on the 40 cm target is 4 cm in diameter (1.5 inches) or about the size of a ping pong ball.


If an archer shoots 30 arrows that score ten points, their total score for the day is a perfect 300. Shooting a perfect score at the Vegas Shoot is a big deal, and it’s an even bigger deal to shoot a perfect score all three days. Archers that accomplish this goal are part of the prestigious 900 club. There are typically several archers in the Open Championship division who shoot a 900. To break that tie, there’s a single-elimination shoot off to decide Vegas Shoot champion.


Archers from under 11 to 101 years old will compete with Olympic recurves, barebow recurves, compound bows, and crossbows.
