Shoot-Off side event
The shoot-off side event was an audience friendly one-against-one elimination cup held on 10 June, the day after the Main Match was finished. The top overall finishing athletes from the Main Match as well as the top category athletes within in each division were eligible for qualification.
The final in the Open division shoot-off came down to an extremely small margin, with the contenders firing each of their shots almost simultaneously. The decisive hit on the last popper came down to tactics. U.S. shooter Scott Greene had chosen the most aggressive choke, which increased his risk of missing, but ultimately caused his plate to fall down faster.
