Every year, some of the best archers in the world make the trip to Northern California for one of the most iconic events in 3D archery—the Redding Trail Shoot.
Hosted by the Straight Arrow Bow Hunters Club, the event has become far more than just another stop on the tournament calendar. For decades, Redding has built a reputation as a proving ground for elite shooters, a gathering place for the archery community, and a tournament where pressure, terrain, and precision collide.
From steep mountain angles to technical shot placement, Redding demands complete confidence from every archer who steps to the stake.
One of Archery’s Most Respected Events
The Redding Trail Shoot has long held a unique place in competitive archery. While many tournaments test pure score, Redding challenges every aspect of an archer’s game.
Known for its rugged terrain, difficult shot scenarios, and unforgettable atmosphere, the event forces shooters to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining complete execution under pressure.
For many competitors, success at Redding means more than a podium finish—it’s validation against some of the toughest shooting conditions in the sport.
Year after year, the event continues to attract professionals, hunters, and dedicated archers from across the country who all come to test themselves on the mountain.

Why Events Like Redding Matter
Tournaments like Redding are where preparation meets execution. They reveal weaknesses, reinforce confidence, and push archers to perform under real pressure.
That’s why so many serious shooters value events like this—not just for the competition, but for the opportunity to grow.
At STAN, we understand that confidence is built through repetition, trust in your equipment, and the ability to execute when it matters most. Watching our shooters compete at the highest level in demanding environments like Redding continues to reinforce the importance of precision engineering and dependable performance.
Because when the pressure rises and the margin for error disappears, feel and consistency matter more than ever.
More Than a Tournament
What continues to make Redding special isn’t just the scores or the trophies—it’s the people.
The event has become a yearly tradition for thousands of archers who share a passion for bowhunting, competition, and the pursuit of improvement. Families camp together, shooters reconnect with longtime friends, and the archery community comes together in a way few events can replicate.
That sense of tradition is part of what keeps archers returning year after year.
Looking Ahead
As another Redding Trail Shoot comes to a close, one thing remains clear: the standard continues to rise.
The conditions get tougher. The competition gets deeper. And the pursuit of perfect execution never stops.
Congratulations are due to all of the shooters who competed in the tournament. We’re proud to support archers who continue pushing themselves—and the sport—forward every time they step to the line.
