The 2024–25 Indoor Archery World Series ended in Las Vegas in March 2025, with The Vegas Shoot running from 5 to 9 March and the series finals staged on the Planet Hollywood stage on Sunday 9 March.
Americans Brady Ellison and Casey Kaufhold each won The Vegas Shoot and the Indoor World Series final on consecutive days.
Indoor World Series Finals champions
| Category | Champion | Runner-up |
|---|---|---|
| Recurve men | Brady Ellison (USA) | Mete Gazoz (TUR) |
| Recurve women | Casey Kaufhold (USA) | Lisa Barbelin (FRA) |
| Compound men | Nico Wiener (AUT), 150–147 | Nicolas Girard (FRA) |
| Compound women | Tanja Gellenthien (DEN), 147–144 | Sarah Prieels (BEL) |
Ellison did not miss the 10 ring in his final against Gazoz. Kaufhold, who turned 21 that week, needed a shoot-off against Barbelin after both archers shot clean, winning on the closer arrow.
The Vegas Shoot
In the open compound championship, Bodie Turner won his second Vegas Shoot title after a shootdown that World Archery described as unprecedented: sixteen ends were needed to separate a 30-strong field of archers who had all shot perfect scores, with the last arrows judged on inside-out tens.

Why it matters
Indoor archery is shot at 18 metres on a 40 cm face, where the margins are so fine that compound finals are routinely decided by X-ring counts and shoot-offs. The Vegas Shoot's open format, where amateurs and professionals shoot the same tournament, is also the sport's largest mass-participation event, which is why World Archery moved its indoor finals there.
