3-Star Shoot-Off Details
To be eligible for the 3-Star Shoot-Off, archers are required to compete in all events of the 3-Star Tour, across any division or combination of divisions. The intense format for the Shoot Off is unlike any other. Archers begin at 10 yards and shoot one arrow per end on an exclusive 40cm target face, specifically designed for the Shoot Off. Any archer who matches the highest arrow value each round is permitted to stay in the competition and move 5 yards further. The action escalates, with competitors shooting up to a maximum distance of 60 yards. In the event of a tie at 60 yards, archers begin scoring inside-out until a champion emerges.
Prize Money Awaits!
Professional archers compete for a $5,000 top prize, while amateur archers battle it out for a $2,500 top prize. Archers under 15 years old will receive the prize money in the form of a scholarship. Archers are eligible to compete in the Amateur 3-Star Shoot-Off if they compete in the 3-Star Adult, Senior, Flight, Junior, or Young Adult Championship divisions. If an archer has competed in a Professional division or earned over $250 in the Adult or Senior Championship divisions during the 2025 3-Star Tour, he/she will automatically be placed in the Professional 3-Star Shoot-Off.
