2006 VEGAS SHOOT—CONTINUED Friday, February 10th No less than fifty-one archers in four divisions shot perfect 300’s on Friday — led by Michael Anderson and Shane Wills with near-perfect 29 X’s in the Championship Freestyle Male Division. Dan Quintana, Jeff Ward, and England’s Chris White followed with 28 X’s. Rick Peters shot the sole 300 in the Championship Bowhunter Freestyle Division, with no less than thirteen tied for second with 299’s. Linda Owen (19 X’s), Georgiana Witt (18 X’s) and Doris Jones (16 X’s) all shot 299 in the Championship Freestyle Female Division. Ken Dunning and Gary Munson both shot 300 with 22 X’s in the Championship Senior Freestyle Division. Steve Boylan, David Bengston and Timothy Smith followed with 299’s. Randy Brabec and Jeff Fabry were tied with 295’s in Championship FSL (Compound), while Jay Lyon (297), Butch Johnson (294) and Vic Wunderle (293) were the top three in the Championship FSL Recurve Male Division. In Championship FSL Recurve Female, the top three were Jennifer Nichols (289), Khatuna Lorig (283) and Amanda Nichols (282). Finally, in the eighth Championship Division, “Anything-Without-Sights-and-Releases,” also known Barebow, Rick Stark led with a 285, followed by Gil Wilson and Teddy Kibel, with 284 and 282, respectively. This was a particularly fun group since it included IFAA Longbow, NFAA Traditional, IFAA Recurve Barebow, NFAA Barebow and NFAA Bowhunter; for both men and women and all adult ages. You may have already noticed that there is new style nomenclature for the Vegas Shoot this year. Style words such as “Unlimited,” “Compound” and “Classic” have been essentially eliminated in favor of NFAA style nomenclature. Saturday, February 11th This second of three days is when all adults get to shoot with their competition, as well as the final day for all Cubs, Youth and Young Adults. It’s certainly not intentional that we’re leaving out the kids, as well as the Crossbow shooters, and all other non-Championship shooters, from this write-up, it’s that there is just not enough space in the magazine. All day-by-day scores, however, are shown in the accompanying tallies. Those remaining perfect through the second day of competition was reduced from 51 to 17 — 13 in the Championship Freestyle Male Division and four in the Freestyle Flight 1. Chris White was the best of the bunch with 600 and 58 X’s. Michael Anderson, Jesse Broadwater and Dave Cousins followed with 55 X’s. Evan Baize (599-45 X’s) moved into the lead in Championship Bowhunter Freestyle, followed by Perry Harping (59944 X’s) and Rick Peters (599-39 X’s). Doris Jones, Tiffany Reeves and Ginger Morehead all shot 300 today in the Championship Freestyle Female Division. Doris’s 599 total led Tiffany and Ginger by one point. In Championship Senior Freestyle, both Steve Boylan and Ken Denning totaled 599, but Steve led by one “X,” 44 to 43. Ed Horn, Gary Munson and David Bengston were tied for third place with 597’s. Jeff Fabry moved ahead of Randy Brabec by three points, 593 to 588, in the Championship FSL Division, while Chris Stauffer remained close with a 588. In the Championship FSL Recurve Male Division, Friday’s leader Joe Lyon dropped an additional 14 points to 580 and a tie for fourth. Vic Wunderle moved into the lead with a 588, followed by Butch Johnson (587) and Shawn Rice (582). Jennifer Nichols (577) and Khatuna Lorig (572) remained 1-2 in the Championship FSL Recurve Female Division. In Barebow, Teddy Kibel moved from third to first with a 561, followed very closely by Rick Stark and Tom Daley with 560 and 559, respectively.

Just as every sport has their crowd-pleasing way of breaking ties at the championship level, the Vegas Shoot is rather unique. While X-count is used to determine the order of finish in the non-championship divisions and flights, all Vegas Championship shooters tied (without regard to X-count) for first place after ninety arrows must face an end-by-end shoot-off in front of a very boisterous audience. The Vegas shoot-off rules are as follows: After two ends of sudden death using standard Vegas scoring, the third and subsequent ends are scored with the X-ring as a “10.” All other “gold” hits are scored as “9’s.” With ten in 2004 and six last year, just five Championship Freestyle men were tied with 900’s after Sunday’s final round: Dave Cousins, Chris White (a 2005 finalist), Jesse Broadwater, Shane Wills and Lee Ford. The shoot-off moved surprisingly quickly. After two ends of “normal” scoring, Lee Ford was the first to drop out with a 29. Then in the third end, with the Xring only as a “10,” Cousins, Wills and White all hit 29, while Jesse Broadwater scored a perfect 30. As 2006 Champion, Jesse was awarded $15,000 from the WAF, plus a $2,500 bonus for being an NFAA Pro, plus more than $16,000 in contingency money from his sponsors. Broadwater, Cousins, Ford, White, Wills, Annen and Morgan, all with scores of 900 for the Vegas Shoot, are automatically in the running to win the WAF 3-Star Tour’s One Million Dollars. To win the million, they must now shoot 600 with 120 X’s at the Louisville Indoor Nationals, as well as a perfect 1200 at the Stanislawski Open in Pittsburgh. As always, NFAA membership is required to shoot the Indoor Nationals. In the seven remaining Championship Divisions, Evan Baize held on to win the Championship Bowhunter Freestyle Division with a 899. With 898-73 X’s, Grant Schleusner nudged out Perry Harping (898-65 X’s) for second. Canadian Doris Jones won the Championship Freestyle Female Division with a superb 899. Christie Colin (2nd), Tiffany Reeves (3rd), Ginger Morehead (4th) all shot 897’s, but Christie moved from fifth to second based on a best-of-the-group 63 X-count. There wasn’t much movement in the Championship Senior Freestyle Division. Steve Boylan (898) was a meager one point better than Ken Denning and two points better than Ed Horn. Defending champion Jeff Fabry repeated in the Championship FSL (Compound) Division. His 889 was two points better than Randy Brabec’s 887. Chris Stauffer finished third with 884. After domination by Butch Johnson for several years, the 2006 Championship FSL Male Recurve Division winner is Vic Wunderle. Butch matched his last year’s winning score of 879, but it was six points less than Vic’s outstanding 885. First day leader, Canadian Jay Lyon, finished third with a 872. In the Championship FSL Female Recurve Division, defending champion Jennifer Nichols’ 867 was 12 points better than Khatuna Lorig’s 855. Andrea Garner remained in third place with a 847. Last, but don’t tell them “least,” the Championship Barebow Division medalists are Teddy Kibel (839), Leonard Loftus (838) and Rick Stark (837) — a very closely-contested finish. With six of eight NFAA 2006 Shooter of the Year events remaining, it’s much too early to make predictions. However, with Michael Anderson’s Marked 3-D championship and sixth place in the Vegas Shoot, he certainly is a “contenda” for Male Shooter of the Year.
