The conclusion of the Championship scoring saw several champions crowned and some thrilling Sunday shootdowns set up.
In the recurve men's competition, Brady Ellison, who led yesterday, took the win outright with a score of 893, four points ahead of Brazil's Marcus D'Almeida. It was Brady's eleventh Vegas title, which ties him for the most wins ever. "I'm really excited, going into tomorrow. And I'm still young so I feel like I got a good chance to keep going," said Brady.
"I missed one in the second end and then kind of calmed down and it was good. And then we were all tied for a little bit, going into it, and then Marcus dropped to the ninth end and then made the last three a little bit easier, but it was good."
"The last five ends I knew I was tied. I knew everything was close and it was a lot of fun... I'm just going to keep plugging along, keep working as hard as I can. Right now we're focused on LA 2028 and everything in between there."

Grant Schleusner of Wisconsin won the Senior Men's Compound tournament by shooting clean, the only archer in the 138 strong field to post a 900.
The USA's Zackary Bisinger took the Championship Barebow Open title with a score of 850. It was his second Vegas shooting barebow, and Bisinger has only been shooting barebow since December 2023 – he previously competed in both compound and recurve.
He said: "It's extremely exciting, I was really nervous coming in today, so it was nice to pull that out. I've been extremely blessed, I've been working hard on the range, and it happened to translate to all the tournaments this year."
Two competitions will require a shootdown to decide the winner. In the Compound Young Adult Championship category Jacob Merkel and Caleb Quiocho tied on 899 and will shootdown on Sunday to decide the champion.
In the recurve women's competition, two archers tied for top spot and will shootdown on Sunday: Victoria Sebastian of France and Casey Kaufhold of the USA, both of whom had shot 883 after three days of competition.
