For example, the center is worth ten points, the next ring is worth nine, then eight, etc. Since April of , archery has been scored using a set system as opposed to the former 12 arrow match. During elimination rounds, three sets of six arrows are used. Meanwhile during the finals, five sets of three arrows are used by each participant.
For each set won, a competitor receives two points. In the event of a tie, each participant gets one point. After each competitor has taken their turn, the archer that has more points earned from all three arrows will win that individual set. The first to win the majority of the possible sets either two in a three set match or three out of five in a five set match moves on to the next round.
If neither competitor has won a majority of the sets, the winner is decided via a one arrow shoot-off between the two. In the shoot-off, whichever competitor lands their single arrow closer to the middle of the target is named the winner. If the judge can't distinguish which arrow is closest, they will repeat the shoot-off to determine the winner.
Scoring is slightly different in each event. In the Olympics a total of archers compete in individual events, with 64 men and 64 women representing their country. In both competitions 64 archers shoot 72 total arrows each, broken into 12 series of six arrows to receive their initial position in the competition. The total of points for all of their shots are added up, then placed in a bracket.
Then, the archers compete in head-to-head knockout rounds where they attempt to outscore one-another. In these knockout rounds, the set scoring system is used.
The matchups are organized with the highest and lowest seeded archers going head to head, the second highest and second lowest competing against one another, and so on. Each archer is aiming to earn a total of six set points, with each set victory counting as two set points and each tie counting as one set point to each participant. The archer with the most points at the end of the head-to-head wins and moves onto the next round, until a final winner is determined.
The inner color, gold, scores 10 or nine points. Red rings are worth eight or seven points. Next, the blue rings score six or five points and black scores four or three points. Finally, white scores two or one point. First are the ranking rounds. Athletes shoot 72 arrows, in ends of six, and the total scores rank the archers from one to This provides the seeding for the elimination brackets.
In the next phase, elimination rounds are comprised of sets of three arrows each. Two athletes shoot against one another, and the loser leaves the competition while the winner advances to the next round.
Archers have 20 seconds to shoot each arrow, shooting in turns of one arrow each. Athletes win two points if they have the highest score in the set, and each athlete is awarded one point if the set is a draw. The first athlete to six points wins the match.
During the gold medal final, two athletes remain. They shoot a match, and the winner is awarded the gold medal while the loser will receive a silver medal. The two semifinal losers compete for the bronze.
Each team is made up of three athletes of the same gender from the same country. The combined ranking round score of the three athletes is used to rank the teams from one to 12, giving the seeding for the elimination brackets. These brackets progress like the individual competition. Team matches are also decided using the set system, but with six arrows instead of three.
Arrows are shot in groups of three, alternating between each group. Every athlete in a group must shoot an arrow, but they can fire in any order. After the first team completes its group, the second team shoots. Finally, both teams repeat the process for a second group.
The team with the highest score receives two set points. If tied, each team receives a point. Like in the individual competition, the first team to six set points wins the match. The match consists of four ends of two arrows each for each archer. This means a total of 24 arrows are shot. The team has two minutes to shoot all six arrows. In the event of a tie, each team is allowed one minute for each team member to shoot an arrow. The bowstrings are wrapped at the end of each limb.
Archers use long and short rods to stabilise the bow, which helps in windy conditions or keeping the bow steady when the arrow is released. To protect themselves from the string, archers wear finger tabs and arm-guards to protect the forearm from rubbing the bowstring. In a recurve event, archers shoot over a distance of 70 metres at a target face which has a diameter of cm with the innermost point ring measuring A compound bow is similar to a recurve bow, except that the bowstrings are attached to the limbs through pulleys also called cams.
It thus makes archery less physical, allows more accuracy and power from a greater distance. A compound archer also views his target through a scope with a magnifying lens in addition to a sight pin.
The target in a compound event is set at 50 metres. The target face is 80cm in diameter with the innermost point ring 8cm in diameter. A barebow is the most primitive form of bow in archery, with archers allowed no stabilisers or sight pins to shoot at their targets. Barebow archers shoot at targets set at 50 metres, with the target face measuring cm in diameter.
Archery formed an early relationship with the Olympics. It was included in the second edition in and also in , and the Games. However, too many local variations led to archery being dropped from the Olympic programme.
The global body of World Archery was formed in with the aim of getting the sport back in the quadrennial event. They finally succeeded in that endeavour 40 years later, as archery made a return to the Olympics at Munich , with recurve events being the accepted form. At present, 64 men and 64 women compete in the individual, team and mixed team archery programme at the Olympics.
The team events were introduced in while the mixed team event will be played for the first time at Tokyo
