The Voyageur Cup and North Star Open is a World Cup-style archery tournament sponsored by the Minnesota Archers Alliance and held annually in August.
Competitors shoot a 72-arrow ranking round on Saturday which will determine the winners of the North Star Open. The Voyageur Cup takes place on Sunday and is a bracket-style elimination round with archers seeded according to their score from the Saturday ranking round.
The 72-arrow round will consist of 12 six-arrow ends. Archers will have four minutes to complete each end. It's a good idea to bring extra arrows and nocks.
Sunday's Voyageur Cup head-to-head elimination rounds will consist of five three-arrow ends for each match. Archers will have two minutes to complete each end.
