The Salt Flats Shoot 2025

February 1, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm

What happens in Lincoln, stays in Lincoln

So, that Vegas Shoot? Honestly, it’s not for everyone. But if you still want to compete Vegas-style – with a chance to win payouts – we’ve got you covered in right here Lincoln.

Attend a regional version of the internationally-attended Vegas archery event – our shoot will follow the same rules as much as our space and schedule allow.* This indoor target archery competition will feature a Vegas Round elimination, shoot-offs, and the chance to win some dough!

$30/archer for Open division, $15/archer for Young Adult and Junior divisions. Young Adult/Junior archers may opt to register for the Open division in order to compete for payouts.

This is a preregistration link to reserve your spot. Cash or check payment for your entry is to be made during check-in.

Archer check-in and walk-in registration is from 3-3:45 pm. Spots for walk-ins are not guaranteed.

The Vegas 450 line starts at 4 pm for all competitors. Fifteen ends of 3 arrows (45 arrow total) shot 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.

Shoot-offs among top 4 in each division/style (including Junior & Young Adult) will begin once the Vegas 450 round is complete. Vertical three-spot targets will be used in shoot-offs for all bow styles except Barebow. Barebow shoot-offs will use single-spot targets.
