World’s best go head-to-head in $100,000 shoot out

Eugene, OR (June 11, 2003) – One good shot wins the big bucks, whether in the field or at the I.B.O. World Championships, coming up August 14-17, in Snowshoe, West Virginia. In addition to the World competition, BowTech, along with Carbon Express and Bowtree, Inc., is sponsoring a special event Shoot Out with a Grand Prize of $100,000. Along with the cash, competitors will receive sponsor merchandise totaling up to $50,000, with cash bonuses for winners using specific brands.

This year’s competition introduces the Sweet Sixteen format. Sixteen names will be drawn on Saturday, August 16 for a head-to-head shootout on Sunday, August 17. Winners advance in each round of this single elimination event. The one shooter left standing has the opportunity to shoot a single arrow for $100,000! Each of the 16 shooters who are drawn wins prizes and cash based on their final standings. In addition, one name from the Long Distance Shoot participants will be drawn to shoot for the $100,000.

Qualifiers for the $100,000 Shoot Out must shoot the Long Distance Shoots at any of the I.B.O. Triple Crown events. Competitors may also qualify by shooting at the World’s on August 14-16, just prior to this main event. With a unique format, some world-class competitors, and the big bucks on the line, this will be a must-see experience. 

Half of the money raised from this event will go to the Bowhunter Defense Fund, a national non-profit agency that keeps the future of bow hunting safe and enjoyable for everyone. The other half will be used as part of the cash prize package.
