Headed to Vegas Shoot 2026? Start Here!

Welcome to Las Vegas and the 60th edition of the World Famous Vegas Shoot. Whether you are here to compete, shop the trade show, or celebrate with the archery community, a little preparation before you arrive will help make your week smoother and more enjoyable. The event runs March 25 to 29, 2026 at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Complete Self Check-In Before You Arrive

All archers and spectators should complete the new Self Check-In process before arriving at the event. This will be your pass for the full event, so please follow the instructions carefully and be sure to add your photo. If you do not upload a photo during Self Check-In, you should expect to show a photo ID at check-in and access points.

Once you have completed Self Check-In, you are ready to access event areas without stopping for a second check-in. Your next step is simply to pick up your Welcome Bag in Paris.

The Event Help Desk and Check-In area will be open Wednesday, March 25 from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Thursday, March 26 from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM in Paris.

Save the Event App

The official Vegas Shoot event app is one of the best tools to have on hand during the event. Use it to view assignments, results, vendor information, and more.

Traveling Through the Hotels With Equipment

Please remember to case or cover your bow and arrows any time you are traveling through hotel lobbies, casino areas, elevators, or hotel room floors. Once you are inside the designated shooting venues, you are free to move around the event space as needed.

And yes, we know the casino floor is tempting, but please do not take your quiver on a sightseeing tour through the slot machines. Let your arrows do the scoring this week.

Equipment is allowed in your hotel room, but if you are using maid service, please keep your bow cased while it is in the room. This may seem a little overcautious, but we are trying to make sure everyone has a great experience and that we avoid unnecessary issues with hotel staff and other guests.

Practice and Bow Storage

Be sure to review the Event Map before you arrive so you know where to find practice, bow storage, competition halls, and other key locations.

Paid practice and bow storage will be available on Wednesday, March 25 from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Paris Las Vegas.

On Thursday, March 26, official practice (free for registered archers) will be available during the day at both Horseshoe and Paris, giving archers the opportunity to practice on the same competition bales they will shoot on during the event. Bow storage will also be open at both properties throughout the day.

Paid practice will reopen Thursday evening from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM at Paris.

Trade Show Opens Thursday

The Archery Trade Show opens Thursday, March 26 in the Paris Ballroom at 11:00 AM. It continues through Sunday, and the official event app includes the current vendor list, booth locations, and sponsor information.

Be sure to stop by and visit nearly 100 of archery’s top vendors, check out new products, and connect with some of your favorite brands from across the industry.

Celebrate 60 Years of Vegas Shoot

Do not miss the 60th Anniversary Celebration Party on Thursday, March 26 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM in the Paris Ballroom. All Vegas Shoot participants and spectators are invited to attend. The celebration will include a balloon drop, music, and the live selection of Spin to Win Grand Prize winners.

If you have been collecting Spin to Win prizes, this is also the time to pick them up and see if your name is called for one of the grand prizes.

It is a great chance to celebrate the history of the event, enjoy anniversary fun, and kick off the weekend with the full archery community.

$1K-A-Day Scholarship Shoot Off

As part of the 60th Anniversary Celebration Party, junior archers age 17 and under are invited to take part in the free $1K-A-Day Scholarship Shoot Off, presented in partnership with the Easton Foundation. This special youth feature event will follow a Lucky Dog-style shoot off format with divisions for Compound, Recurve, Bowhunter, and Barebow Recurve.
