Full description and what we offer

The 3D Open Archery Challenge at the Washington Sportsmen's Show is a serious archery competition with real payouts. $10,000 total prize pool split across divisions, with 1st place pulling $2,500 in both the Open and String divisions.

Adult Division (15+): $45 entry includes one day admission to the show Youth Division (14 & under): $25 entry includes one day admission to the show

Finalists get a second full day pass for Sunday's finals. Compound and single-string bows only—no crossbows.

Qualification rounds run six separate times across Friday and Saturday (10:30 am, 12:30 pm, 2:30 pm each day). You pick your time slot—just check in 15 minutes early. Shoot at 3D animal targets with marked yardage up to 100 yards. Two arrows per target, standard IBO scoring (11, 10, 8, 5).

Youth shooters stay under 50 yards. Rangefinders are allowed.

The top three scores from each qualification round advance to Sunday's finals

Youth finals start at 10:30 am. Adults go at noon. Finals use an elimination format—shooters work through the 3D course, then the top finalists compete in a single-arrow playoff with shrinking target zones until one shooter remains.
