🏹🏆 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2026 IOWA S3DA 3D SHOOTERS OF THE YEAR! 🏆🏹
What does it take to earn Iowa S3DA 3D Shooter of the Year honors?
Dedication. Commitment. Consistency. Hard work.
To be eligible, archers had to attend a minimum of **three 'outdoor' 3D regionals plus the Iowa S3DA 3D State Championship**. Their final Shooter of the Year score was calculated using their **three highest regional scores plus their State Championship score**.
That's not just one great tournament—that's an entire season of showing up, putting in the work, and performing at a high level!
These archers battled through changing weather, challenging courses, long travel days, and tough competition throughout the season. Week after week they continued to improve, push themselves, and represent their teams with pride.
The result? They earned the title of **2026 Iowa S3DA 3D Shooter of the Year!**
