NFAA has excellent information on rules for 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.
