THANK YOU!!

🎯 YOUR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD... YOU WANT MORE OPPORTUNITIES! 🎯

In less than 24 hours since unveiling the IBO 3D Challenge & IBO Bullseye, we have heard from archers, coaches, families, clubs, and organizations from all across the country wanting in on this program!

And we couldn’t be more excited about the response!

The IBO’s goal is simple: create additional opportunities for youth archers and their families, support the people and organizations that want to grow archery, and help our sport continue to move forward.

As with any new program, we know there will be questions and conversations as people learn more about what we are building. We welcome those conversations and want everyone to have the opportunity to get accurate information directly from the IBO.

We understand that some people seeking information about the new program are being encouraged to look elsewhere rather than connect directly with the IBO.

If you have questions, come directly to us!

We are happy to answer your questions, explain how the program works, and talk with anyone interested in being part of it.

This program is being built to provide MORE opportunities!

🎯 More places to compete.
🎯 More ways to participate.
🎯 More opportunities to grow.
🎯 More opportunities for archers.

We’re just getting started, and based on what we’ve heard in the first 24 hours, archers, coaches, clubs, and organizations across the country are ready for MORE!

Have questions? Contact the IBO anytime and get the answers directly from the people building this program for you.

Joshua Blair — [email protected]

More Opportunities. More Archery. More Ways to Be Part of the IBO. 🎯

🚨 YOU ASKED FOR IT. WE HEARD YOU! 🚨

The IBO 3D Challenge & IBO Bullseye are HERE!

For months, we’ve heard from archers, clubs, coaches, and organizations looking for more opportunities to compete and more ways to be part of the IBO.

Today, we’re excited to deliver.

🔴 IBO 3D CHALLENGE — SAME GAME. SAME CHALLENGE.

The IBO 3D Challenge continues with the same competition format that the International Bowhunting Organization created and built — the game thousands of archers have competed in and enjoyed over the years.

6 TARGETS • 5 ARROWS PER TARGET • 30 ARROWS • 300 POINTS POSSIBLE

It’s the IBO 3D Challenge you already know.

We’re not changing the game — we’re creating more opportunities to play it.

🔵 IBO BULLSEYE — NEW GAME. NEW CHALLENGE.

Now, we’re taking that same simple competition concept and introducing an entirely new IBO Bullseye game!

6 TARGETS • 5 ARROWS PER TARGET • 30 ARROWS • 300 POINTS POSSIBLE

IBO Bullseye uses an 80cm bullseye target face, giving archers a completely different challenge while maintaining the simple, accessible, and easy-to-host format of the IBO 3D Challenge.

ONE RANGE. TWO GAMES.

Two different ways to compete. One program. And one path to Worlds.

Archers will have the opportunity to compete through State Championships, the National Championship, and ultimately the IBO World Championship.

And today is only the beginning.

Over the coming days and weeks, we’ll be sharing everything you need to know about competition formats, classes, qualification, State Championships, registration, hosting opportunities, and much more.

👉 Learn more about the IBO 3D Challenge & IBO Bullseye: https://iboarchery.com/all-about-ibo-3d-challenge-ibo-bullseye

This is about creating more opportunities, reaching more archers, and continuing to grow the sport we all love.

YOU ASKED FOR IT. WE HEARD YOU. NOW IT’S HERE!

🏹 IBO 3D CHALLENGE & IBO BULLSEYE
