Thirty-six arrows a night — three ends of three arrows at each of four distances. Teams of four, up to ten teams per time slot, and you pick one night and one slot for the whole season. Slots are 6pm and 7:30pm; if you cannot make the evening you may shoot your score that afternoon between 12pm and 5:30pm instead. There are no makeups — a missed week is scored as your current three-week average.

A 300 round scored on Delta animal faces. Six teams of three to five archers, handicapped so any skill level can enter, with a gift-card payout to the top three teams for completing the season and a big buck contest alongside. Each night mixes the shooting up — varied distances, elevated platforms, simulated ground blinds and moving targets — and the summer season is shot with broadheads so hunters can confirm their setups. Runs in two seasons: Winter from January to May and Summer from June to October.

Thursdays and Saturdays shoot the USA Archery/Vegas 450 round. Six teams of three to five archers, handicapped so any skill level can enter. Cash payout for the top three places and a team shirt for every member. Weeknights start at 8pm and Saturdays at 6pm. The league uses tournament timing and whistle commands, which is the point — it doubles as training for the Vegas Shoot and the Lancaster Classic. It runs year round in three seasons: Winter from January to May, Summer from June to October and Fall from October to January.

The first two weeks are shot to establish everyone's average. On week three the field is split by average into A, B and C groups, and the A shooters captain teams picking one archer from each of the other groups. From there every team shoots every other team once, with handicaps evening out the lower averages, and the team on most points takes the championship. Makeups and sick days are allowed. All equipment is welcome, and anyone who can shoot 20 yards comfortably can enter.

Eight weeks, closing with an awards night and pizza party, with prizes for the top teams at each level and for the most improved archers. A bow is provided if you do not have one.
