NADO Players bring home a Top 3 finish and first U.S. team to win International Challenge

With J&J Amusements being the exclusive NADO operator for our area, we are able to bring remarkable opportunities available to our players. NADO players returned from their trip to Spain for the European Bullshooter Championship. NADO received their first-ever top 3 finish and a J&J Amusements & NADO player, Dustin Holt, had achieved the first singles tournament win for a North American player in the International event.

The highlight of the week came when NADO’s Team USA, in an 11-country field, became the first U.S. team to ever win the International Challenge. NADO took 23 people to the championships with 8 of the players representing J&J Amusements. Congratulations on this remarkable feat.

Didn’t make the trip this year? NADO is starting up their exclusive Bullshooter Europe Events this summer to send some lucky players on this once-in-a-lifetime dart trip. By winning these events, players will earn a spot to the European Bullshooter in 2024. Just participating in the event will make you eligible for next year’s Team USA to go for the repeat!
