Please make sure your registration shows in the correct shooting division.  We will not move you once you have started shooting for score (unless you are in the wrong sex/age group).

We are not going to be able to have shoot-offs with all of the shooting times so tie breakers are as follows:  X's, Inside Out X's, First person to drop an X, First person to drop a 10.  If archers are still tied, we will combine the places tied and split the money accordingly.

NFAA has excellent information on rules for the Vegas Shoot at https://www.nfaausa.com/tournament/the-vegas-shoot/  So far I have only seen a few rules that we are not following; we are not offering the 60cm face and we are not requiring 15 years of age for flights, we are not separating sexes for Flights, we are not offering a Young Adult class.  This list is not all-encompassing.  Please contact Oliver with any questions.


At this time there are no crossbows.  If we have more than four asking, we will offer a Championship Division just for crossbows.
