We invite you to compete at the NEW and exciting Open Outdoor 3D Archery Tournament in partnership with the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation (MCHF), Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Mark Twain Lake FOREST Council.
Test your archery skills against the forest. No matter how green or experienced you are with a bow, there’s fun to be had by all shooting at targets such as deer, bear, elk, turkey, coyote and more!
Saturday, Aug. 12, archers of all ages and shooting levels will come together for fun competition at Mark Twain Lake. Multiple divisions and categories will be available including, National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), Archery Shooters Association (ASA) with bowhunters, traditional, compound and bare bow. With two ranges, 40 total targets and fun challenge games, this is bound to be an unforgettable experience. Proceeds from the event will be used to support conservation programs in Missouri.
General Information
- The Open Outdoor 3D Archery Tournament is a one-day family-friendly fundraiser to support Missouri youth archery and outdoor programs. Competitors will shoot on both A and B ranges, with 20 targets on each range totaling 40 targets.
- Each competitor will receive two items with their entry fee: an event T-shirt sponsored by Hannibal CVB and a water bottle sponsored by Tyson Foods.
- Each range loop must be shot in order. For safety and courtesy reasons, please do not shoot targets in reverse order. If there is a way to safely go around a back-up and skip a target or two, you may do that. When you return to shoot the targets you skipped, please start from the beginning of the range. Always be aware of other shooters around you.
- The max group size at the tournament is 5 shooters. If you are attending the event by yourself and would like to shoot with a group, you can ask to join others or contact the MCHF office to help you find a group, 800.227.1488. You will find that most archers are very friendly and always willing to join up with someone new!
- There are no assigned group start times or pairings.
- The event will also feature an Iron Buck Challenge. Shoot an arrow through a hole in an iron deer target at 40 yards. If you miss your arrow will shatter. If archers tie, each round will be 10 yards farther than the last. The last archer left standing wins. The winner will receive a prize! This game is $10 to particpate.
- Non-shooters are allowed to walk the range and watch, as long as they stay on the walk way path.
- There will be a yardage sheet provided at registration and range finders are also allowed.
- Each archer will shoot 1 arrow per target and the scoring will be as follows: 12, 10, 8, 5, 0.
- In the event of inclement weather, we will shoot rain or shine. The only foreseeable circumstance that will result in closing the range is flooding or lightning. In the event of lightning, we will close the range until the storm passes and reopen as soon as we can confirm that it is safe to shoot. If we have to cancel due to flooding or other acts of nature, refunds will be issued accordingly.

- Be mindful of your surroundings when pulling arrows, wait for those around you to clear the area so that they do not get poked by a nock when arrows are being pulled.

- Please respect the grounds and targets at the event. We want to leave the Mark Twain Lake Archery Park as clean as possible and respect their property as if it was our own. Please treat the targets with care and do not climb on any target as they are not built to withstand weight on top of them.
