Excited about Archery? Host a World Cup Party

Each stage features about 300 athletes from 40 countries. Athletes first compete in qualifying rounds and then in head-to-head, bracket-style elimination matches in individual and team events. That kind of competition is thrilling to watch live. Archers hold their bows seemingly forever at full draw, creating tension and anticipation as they carefully aim. That intense focus reinforces the slim margins separating each competitor.

“The livestream covers all medal matches from the compound and recurve events, plus features on some of the world’s best archers and behind the scenes coverage of running a world-class tournament,” said Wells. “It’ll have insight from a top commentator and a chance to see – and learn from – some truly incredible shooters.”

Viewing parties for the Archery World Cup Stage 3 offers other benefits, too. The spectacle can inspire archers to get more involved by taking lessons and registering for leagues. And even if the party doesn’t fire up competitive spirits, showing the competition in your shop will get archers shooting. Try discounting your range fees that day, or organize your own competitive shoot. Hold elimination rounds and award prizes to the winners.

The Archery World Cup Stage 3’s qualifying rounds take place June 19 to 21. The compound-bow finals are June 23, and the recurve finals are June 24. You can livestream the tournament at www.olympicchannel.com, a link will be available on the home page.
