Following the primary competition there were 7 shootouts at distances from 75 to 40 yards. The winner being determined by whose arrow struck closest to a 1 inch dot placed on various 3-D targets. Cal took on all competitors, which were all adult, and walked away with the 75 yard and two 40 yard wins.
