3D Archery Shoots and Events 2023

As the snow melts and nicer weather approaches, we begin to think about all of the fun summer plans we have. We also start thinking about the upcoming hunting seasons and how we can improve our skills. 3D Shoots are one of the best ways to prepare bowhunters for the upcoming hunting season due to the fact that you're able to practice with realistic hunting scenarios. Check out some of this year's upcoming 3D Shoot Events!

ASA 3-D archery features competitive rounds of lifelike, three-dimensional animal targets made of foam. The scoring rings are not always visible from the shooting stake and binoculars are allowed. Advanced archers must determine the distance to the target, pick a good aiming point, and execute the shot.

Each ASA Pro/Am tournament will consist of two rounds of twenty individual 3-D targets contested over a one or two-day period. All targets will be 3-D targets manufactured by McKenzie Targets that feature the ASA Pro 12-Ring. Classes consist of youth, young adult, amateur, semi-pro and pro.

Each twenty (20) target Unknown Distance round will be shot in three hours and thirty-minutes. Each twenty (20) target Known Distance round will be shot in less than three hours and fifteen minutes.

IBO 3D Archery

IBO 3D Shoot Schedule

IBO - International Bowhunting Organization is based in Ohio. IBO produces eight 3D shooting tournaments yearly, including an indoor course and one for traditional archers only. You will find most IBO tournaments are held in the Midwest.

A typical IBO 3D shoot consists of shooting two, 20-target courses over two days. There is no shoot-down. The targets are marked and scored the same as ASA targets, except the only bonus ring is the one in the center of the 10-point area. (That’s the ring ASA doesn’t recognize.) Arrows that hit that ring are worth 11 points.
