First held in 1962, The Vegas Shoot has called several of Las Vegas' most iconic properties home. As a nod to our past, the 2022 shooting groups are named after several of these locations. So if you are assigned to the Tropicana group, please don't hop in a taxi and head to the Strip for your shooting time! Refer to your target assignment to find your assigned Hall or Arena.

2022 VEGAS SHOOT RULES ROUND BASICS Target: All Championship (including Championship Young Adult) Divisions and Adult Flight Divisions will shoot on either the 40 cm Vegas three-spot target face with gold – red– blue (10-9-8-7-6) scoring areas or the 40 cm single-spot face with 10 through 1 scoring. The x-ring of the 40 cm Indoor Vegas Face will be used for tiebreaks in the Flights divisions and for 4th place or below in the Championship divisions. After the fifth end of competition, target faces are changed from bottom to top or vice versa.

Non-Championship Cub, Youth, and Young Adult recurve divisions will shoot on the 60 cm Indoor Face with 10 through 1 scoring. Cub, Youth, and Young Adult compound divisions will use the standard single-spot 40 cm Indoor Vegas Face or the Vegas three-spot target face. Archers using the dual face Vegas target can switch target faces (single-spot or three-spot) at any time during practice rounds and competition.

Distance for all Divisions: 20 Yards Rounds: Each round on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will consist of 10 ends; 3 arrows per end. The Junior (Non-Championship) Divisions will shoot only two rounds; one each on Friday and Saturday. A time limit of 2 minutes per end will be used.

ROUND RULES You may enter either a Championship division, Flight division, or Junior Division. Archers may only register in ONE division and style and will remain in the same division all three days. The number of entries in that division will determine the number of places offered in each division. Based on last year’s registration, the number of places offered this year would be as listed. The tournament guarantees the first three places for each division will not change; however, subsequent places may change based on attendance. This may be different than the published awards.

IMPORTANT! Archers 12 years of age and older may compete in a Flight or Championship division. Any prize money awarded to archers under 15 will be awarded in the form of scholarships. Only archers 15 and older will be eligible for cash prizes.

Non-English Speaking Competitors: Every effort will be made to contact those archers who require assistance to understand the equipment divisions, scoring procedures, tournament rules, etc. Please notify a tournament staff person if language or other circumstances may cause communication problems.

Flights: Flight placements will be determined at the discretion of the tournament management. The method or methods used for determining the flights can be any combination of all three days of competition.

Junior Divisions: There will be two Junior divisions open to all archers, 17 years of age or younger; Compound and Recurve. Each division will offer three age groups in Male and Female categories; Cub (11 and under), Youth (12-14) and Young Adult (15-17). The archer must be the appropriate age at the start of the competition and remains in that category even if they celebrate a birthday during the competition.

Junior Divisions will shoot only two rounds; one each on Friday and Saturday.

Archers may only register in ONE style and division and will remain in the same division both days of competition. Vegas Shoot scholarships will be presented to the top 3 place winners in each Junior Flight Division.

Championship Young Adult Divisions: There will be two Championship Young Adult divisions available to archers under 17 years of age; Compound and Recurve. Championship Young Adult divisions will compete for cash prizes in a male/female-combined division. Participants must be 17 or under at the start of the tournament to compete in these divisions. Any prize money awarded to archers under 15 will be awarded in the form of scholarships. Only archers 15 and older will be eligible for cash prizes.

Championship Young Adult divisions will shoot three rounds of competition; one each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Ties: Championship division (including Championship Young Adult) ties for first, second and third place will be determined by the highest total score from all three days of competition, not counting x’s. All competitors tied with the same high score at the end of the third day will compete in a shoot off to determine final places.

The shoot off will include one practice-end followed by end-by-end sudden death. The first end will be scored with regular scoring followed by scoring where only the x ring scores 10 points. After each end, only those still tied with the highest score will continue in the shoot off. All archers’ placement in the tournament (other than first, second or third) will be determined by the order in which they drop out of the shoot off. If more than one archer drops out of

6 www.thevegasshoot.com

the shoot off in the same end, those archers will be placed based on their total score and x-count of all three days, including the score and x’s accumulated in the shoot off.

All other ties (Flight and Championship) will be broken by the highest score and highest x count. Ties remaining after x count, will equally split the combined payout of the tied positions.

All Junior Division ties will be decided by the highest score in the following sequence 1) total x’s 2) 1st round score 3) 2nd round score 4) 1st end through 20th end score.

“Lucky Dog” Shoot Off: Any archer in the Championship Compound Open Division that shoots a 3-day total cumulative score of 899 will be eligible to shoot off for one spot with the 900’s in the Championship shoot off. The 899 shoot off will be held Sunday, time to be determined. It will be a 1-arrow/ end sudden death shoot off (1st arrow counting the X as a 10, then for each subsequent end counting the X as 10 scored inside out- no practice ends). All qualified archers must turn their scorecards in at the podium within 10 minutes of the conclusion of the regular round. The “Lucky Dog” can be the “Vegas Champion” by winning the 900’s shoot off or will place at the top of the 899’s in the regular ranking placement. “$10K-A-Day” Shoot Off: A $25 registration add-on will be available to all Championship divisions. Archers that pay the $25 add-on fee (prior to the start of the competition) will be eligible for the $10K-A-Day Shoot Offs on Friday and Saturday. To qualify for either Shoot Off, eligible archers must score a 300 on the respective day. The winner-takes-all Shoot Off will take place at the end of each day on Friday and Saturday, and use the same rules as the Lucky Dog Shoot Off. Each winner will be awarded $10,000.

900 Guarantee: All Championship Division archers shooting a score of 900 will be guaranteed a minimum prize of $2,500. ​ Collegiate Scholarships: The Collegiate Scholarship program is open to all full-time students at a two- or four-year university or technical school. Current high school students are not eligible. To be eligible, collegiate student-athletes must pay the $25 collegiate add-on during registration.

The scores from the first two days of competition will decide the collegiate results. Archers can participate in the flight or championship competitions at The Vegas Shoot but will be ranked for collegiate purposes in divisions of Male and Female - Compound, Recurve, Bowhunter, and Recurve Barebow.

The top three student-athletes in each division will receive scholarships valued at $500, $300 and $200, respectively, for use towards higher education.

Schools will also be ranked on a cumulative team score. The top score from each school in each of the equipment divisions (Compound, Recurve, Bowhunter, and Recurve Barebow - Male or Female) will be used to create the cumulative team score. The top three schools will receive $750, $500 and $300, respectively, for their team or club.

Foot archer

Orissa Kelly

to perform at The Vegas Shoot The Vegas Shoot is the biggest open-entry archery tournament in the world – and a celebration of all things bow and arrow. That’s why we’ve invited the exceptionally talented Orissa Kelly, a gymnast and entertainer who shoots with her feet, to perform not once, but twice.

Orissa will perform on Saturday, February 5, ahead of the Indoor Archery World Series Finals, alongside Easton’s 100-Year Celebration and the annual Archers’ Appreciation Dinner – an unmissable event this year with prizes, giveaways and a few more exciting surprises – and then again on Sunday, February 6, just before the Vegas Shoot Champions are crowned.

“I can’t wait to meet all the other archers,” said Orissa.

“It will be a true honor to show the archery community my unique take on the sport and what is possible! I can’t wait to do an epic show for everyone on February 5 and 6. It will be an act especially created for the event.”

Orissa is currently on tour around the States shooting her bow in halftime shows at NBA games and has previously performed in the United Kingdom in Britain’s Got Talent and for the Queen.

18 www.thevegasshoot.com

Vegas Shoot president Bruce Cull expressed his excitement for this new addition to the preshows at this year’s tournament.

“We’ve always made it a mission to include everybody who’s passionate about this sport at our event, no matter their style or bow,” he said. “Orissa’s impressive talent might not fit with our standard classes – but it’s fun to watch and pure archery.”

“Maybe next year, we’ll persuade her to compete, too!”

We caught up with Orissa to find out more about her unique approach to shooting a bow.

What did you first shoot a bow and arrow?

Believe it or not, I actually picked up a bow with my feet before my hands! Back in 2015, when I came up with the crazy idea, I had zero normal archery knowledge. After a few months of struggling to shoot with my feet, I decided that learning with my hands first might be of benefit.

And once I’d understood that I just transferred it back to my feet!

How did you learn?

I was inspired by a girl sitting down and shooting a toy bow with her feet. I just went to my local archery store, bought my first bow (a shoot-through recurve), and began practicing. I had noone to teach me, so I just practiced up to six hours a day for six months in a cricket field in England.

Once I finally got good, and hit my first bullseye, I created my act, was picked up by Britain’s Got Talent – and that was the start of my foot archery career. Since 2015, I’ve performed for the Queen of England, during NBA halftime shows and in Wonder Woman.

How much do you practice?

I shoot 100s of arrows a week. When I’m not performing, I train up to six hours a day but I incorporate archery alongside hand-balancing and contortion. All these skills make up my act. Training is my favorite part – it’s like meditation. Maybe that sounds familiar?

What’s your favourite thing to do in Vegas?

It wouldn’t be Vegas without the shows! I adore Cirque du Soleil and Spigelworld and I have many talented friends involved. I also love visiting Red Rock Canyon State Park and I’ve done loads of epic photoshoots with my bow there.
