The 3D Pop-Up Bowhunters Challenge is a simulated bowhunting environment for archers of all proficiency levels. The experience educates the shooter while testing their bowhunting skills and equipment. Pop & Walk-Out 3-D Target Stations, plus stationary Decoy Targets, keep the hunter thinking -- never knowing which target is coming next, or what the distance will be. It's fast, fun, educational, and the experience will test any bowhunter's skills.
- Each competitor will shoot three (3) rounds from an elevated platform from a tree stand.
- The two (2) best rounds will be added together for a total score. The total score will be used to rank the top eight (8) or sixteen (16) shooters in each division.
