Las Vegas – The second day of competition at the 2026 Vegas Shoot, the concluding event of the 2025-2026 Indoor World Series, has delivered compelling results, particularly for Italian archers in both the compound men’s and women’s divisions. The event, hosted at the National Field Archery Association (NFAAF) facility in Las Vegas from March 25-29, is drawing to a close with the final 30 arrows set to be shot in all categories, culminating in the awards ceremony.
Compound Men: Douglas and Turner Lead, Bruno Impresses
The compound men’s standings are currently topped by Americans Kyle Douglas and Bodie Turner, both having achieved a perfect score of 600/600 with 60 out of 60 possible X-ring hits. Italy’s Marco Bruno is likewise performing strongly, matching the perfect 600 score but with a slightly lower number of X’s – currently at 56.
Close behind are Lorenzo Gubbini, Sergio Pagni, and Pietro Fabiani, all posting scores of 599. Jesse Sut, with a score of 598, currently sits outside the top 100.
Compound Women: Dean and Kirar Set the Pace, Italian Archers in Contention
In the compound women’s competition, Olivia Dean of Pennsylvania and Muskan Kirar of India lead the field with identical scores of 600/600, each also achieving 51 X-ring hits. Italy is well-represented with Francesca Aloisi currently in 21st position with a score of 598/600 (49 X’s). Giulia Di Nardo is close behind in 25th place, also scoring 598/600 but with 43 X’s, while Elisa Roner occupies the 35th spot with a score of 597 and 40 X’s.
The Vegas Shoot is renowned for its challenging conditions and intense competition. The indoor format demands precision and consistency, and the pressure of the shoot-off rounds is significant. For those unfamiliar, the “X” represents the highest scoring ring within the target, and a higher number of X’s serves as a tie-breaker.
The competition at the NFAAF facility is known for its bright lights and demanding conditions, testing the archers’ focus and ability to maintain form under pressure. The event attracts a global field of competitors, making it a key fixture on the indoor archery calendar.
Tomorrow marks the final day of the competition, with archers set to shoot their last 30 arrows. The results will determine the champions and award winners of the 2026 Vegas Shoot. Full results can be found on the Ianseo website: https://www.ianseo.net/Details.php?toId=27255.

The Vegas Shoot isn’t just about individual accolades; it’s a crucial stepping stone for archers aiming for larger competitions, including the upcoming outdoor season and potentially, the Olympic Games. The ability to perform under pressure in Las Vegas is a strong indicator of an archer’s potential for success at the highest level.
