INDOOR WORLD SERIES ELITE RANKING presented by YOUYI.
Brady Ellison, Victoria Sebastian, Mike Schloesser and Ella Gibson were crowned 2025 Indoor Archery World Series champions following standout performances across the circuit, culminating at the Vegas Shoot in Las Vegas.
With no Indoor Archery World Series Final this season, the overall standings determined the champions. Points towards the elite rankings were accrued since October at events in Lausanne, Luxembourg, Taipei, Rio, Nimes, Merida and Vegas.
For Ellison, Schloesser and Gibson, the series victories came back-to-back with their titles at the Vegas Shoot. It marked a second consecutive series win for Ellison, who claimed the recurve men’s title outright in Vegas, while Schloesser and Gibson prevailed through highly competitive shootdowns held on a new shootoff target at the Planet Hollywood Theatre.
In the recurve men’s standings, the race at the top was expected to centre on Marcus D’Almeida (625 points), Nicholas D’Amour and Matias Grande (both on 600), in the absence of Andres Temino Mediel.
Reigning series champion Ellison, who sat eighth with 340 points prior to Vegas, once again delivered when it mattered most. His victory in Las Vegas earned him 1000 points, lifting him to the top of the standings and securing the 5,000 CHF winner’s prize.
D’Almeida, who finished just one point behind Ellison after a shoot-off win over Santiago Arcila, added 500 points to take second place overall and 2,500 CHF. Temino Mediel finished third, earning 1,500 CHF while D’Ámour and Grande, the Merida winner, claim 1,000 and 500 CHF prize purse, respectively after ending the series in fourth and fifth places.
In the recurve women’s standings, Nimes and Taipei Open champion Sebastian and rising star Angela Ruiz were among the leading contenders. Ruiz had surged from 600 to 1100 points after claiming her first series title in Mérida.
With both archers finishing outside the podium in Vegas, Sebastian maintained the advantage. Her fourth-place finish added 300 points, securing the title with 1550 points and the 5,000 CHF prize. Ruiz placed second received 2,500 CHF.
Vegas champion Casey Kaufhold (1165) climbed six places to finish third overall, while silver medallist Catalina Gnoriega (725) surged 18 places to end fifth. Tokyo 2020 Olympic medallist Gabriela Schloesser finished fourth after securing her only indoor medal of the season with bronze in Vegas.
