It’s 2022 and it’s back to Vegas – the full, in-person version of this world-famous indoor archery competition.
Last year, things were done differently. Only the championship divisions shot in this venue at a date delayed from the traditional February weekend, with the popular amateur flights happening remotely. This year is a return to normality.
More than 3000 archers will compete in The Vegas Shoot in 2022. Open practice kicks off on Thursday with the first competition arrows following on Friday, February 4 at 7:00am.
The event also hosts the Indoor Archery World Series Finals in the evening of Saturday, February 5 – this year with a special celebration for Easton’s 100-year anniversary.
