Individual and team performance levels at major international target archery competitions, 2010–2017

Abstract

Major international target archery competitions include World Cups, World Championships and the Olympic Games. These events include both a 72-arrow ranking round and then one-on-one ranked knockout matches, until one archer or a team remains. To win either an event or at least a podium position, it is necessary for the archer or team to do very well in the ranking round. This article considers the individual, three-archer team and mixed team events over the period 2010–2017 and provides score objectives for each of them for future years and for the World Championships in 2019.
