Today, the Vegas Shoot attracts more than 3, archers from novice level to Olympic competitors. Thousands more attend the tournament as spectators. Archers and spectators come from all over the world, and participants take part in three days of intense no-error competition. The competition includes the traditional three-spot yard Vegas Round that made the tournament famous. The Vegas Round uses a three-spot target shot at a range of 20 yards. Each day, archers shoot a Vegas Round, which consists of 30 arrows shot in 10 ends.
Each end, archers must shoot three arrows within two minutes. An archer who successfully scores a perfect in the pro division has a chance to compete for what is typically the largest prize purse of the season. In , it was the largest prize purse in archery history. The Vegas Round uses two types of targets. The first is a 40cm single-face target with 10 rings plus the X-ring. With this target, individual rings are worth from one to 10 points, with the X-ring and following yellow circle being worth 10 points.
The other target is a three-spot target face. Each spot has a center X-ring followed by five additional rings, and measures 20cm in diameter. Scoring ranges from six to 10 points, with the center X-ring and following yellow circle being worth 10 points. For tiebreakers in the Flights divisions and fourth place or below in the Championship divisions, the X-ring of the 40cm three-spot target face is used.
Cub, Youth, and Young Adult compound shooters can use the standard single-spot 40cm Indoor Vegas face or the three-spot target face. As described above, each end consists of three arrows shot during a two-minute timespan. In this round, scoring is based on which ring the arrow penetrates. If the arrow shaft touches the line between rings, score calculations use the higher-scoring ring.
When using the three-spot target, archers can shoot at each spot in any order. However, they cannot shoot more than one arrow per spot. An archer who shoots multiple arrows into the same spot loses the highest scoring arrow or arrows in that spot. Archers reshoot bounce-outs and passthroughs. If an arrow passes into the target beyond the nock and a referee cannot determine its value, that arrow can be reshot as a passthrough.
After nine arrows, only three remained. The rest had missed a 10 over the first three ends. Cody Lippencott dropped a nine in end four — leaving just Richard Bowen and the reigning champion on the line. Douglas drilled another perfect 30 and collected his second career, and second straight, title at this prestigious competition.
Despite the gravity of the double-win, possibly the most exciting news from Vegas came a few hours earlier. Wins in the recurve championship categories went to Brady Ellison and Olivia Hale , while the barebow title was won by Richard Stark Vegas also ran a month-long virtual event for the amateur flights prior to the in-person championships.
