A shooter can win a tournament here and there, but finishing at the top consistently is incredibly difficult. The Triple Crown is each archer’s score from each tournament.  400 is considered even par for an IBO event (40 targets, hitting all 10’s), although shooters can score higher by hitting 11 rings. The combined scores of the three IBO events make the winning Triple Crown score. Cara battled her competition for 120 targets, but fell just short of the title.
