The international target archery is performed by using two kinds of bows, either a recurve bow or a compound bow.

Having learned the basics of target archery, now let us look at how outdoor and indoor archery is actually played.

Outdoor Target Archery Score

This is a form of archery open for both recurve bow archers as well as compound bow archers. The recurve bow archers have to shoot at a target which is set 70 meters away while the compound bow archers have to shoot a target which is set 50 meters away. Both these athletes have the same 10 ring target of 5 colors, red, yellow, black, blue, and white which scores 10 for the innermost round and 1 for the outermost round. However, the diameters of the targets vary with the recurve bow diameter being 122cm (each ring of 12.2 cm) while the compound bow diameter being 80 cm in diameter (each ring of 8 cm).

Though this happens to be the traditional target board used for compound athletes, in international competitions the target board is reduced to 6 rings of red, yellow, and blue. This is done to reduce the target size so that each athlete can have his own target to aim at providing ease.

Indoor Target Archery Scoreboard

This form is also open to both compound as well as recurve bow archers. The target, in this case, is set 18 meters away for both the categories. The target used for Indoor Target Archery is the same traditional 10 ring target with colors black, yellow, blue, red, and white which has a score of 10 on the inside and decreases to 1 as we go to the outer white portion.

This being the traditional target, the international competitions are still held on a smaller three-color target which excludes the outer black and white rings. In these competitions, these smaller targets are arranged vertically where the athlete hits one shot on each of the targets at any given time. The diameter of the target ring is 2 cm for compound athletes as against 4 cm for recurve athletes.

Now, these competitions are held in different formats based on the team formation they allow. Let us enlighten ourselves with the various available options.

Indoor as well as outdoor archery is permitted with a mixed team, team and for individual pursuits. We will now study each of these formats in detail.

The team is composed of three athletes from the same division. Usually the three top-scoring athletes advance however; this can be managed a little by the team manager by substituting the players. Now comes mixed team which comprises of two athletes of the same bow style with one of each gender. These teams are seeded for the elimination matches by adding up the individual round scores of the athletes.

Recurve teams, as well as mixed team matches, are conducted considering the set system. The teams are entitled to two set points for having won each set of 6 arrows, and mixed teams are entitled to 2 set of points for having won each set of 4 arrows. If both, the teams or mixed teams come to the same score in a 6 arrow set or a 4 arrow set, they are both allowed a single set point. The team or mixed team which gets 5 points wins the match.
