Qualifying Criteria

Last Updated – December 11, 2025

3Di’s recognition structures reward excellence, whether that be District / Provincial / National and later *Protea. These qualifying criteria are evaluated at the conclusion of each
Tournament Calendar year, and updated and amended if necessary.
This has become a necessity due to our competitive nature as 3D target archers and the ongoing technological advancement, but mainly due to determination / perseverance and hard work of our tournament archers.
Stay up to date with the recognition criteria of each of the competitive classes, but bear in mind that they do change at the end of each year.
