The shooting distance is 70m. An elimination system is adopted in archery events.
The result of archery is decided by the scores of the arrow hitting various scoring zones. The nearer the arrow is to the center of the target face, the higher the scores.
The target face is a circle of 122cm in diameter, which is divided into five concentric color zones arranged from the center outwards as follows: yellow, red, light blue, black and white. Each color is divided by a thin line into two zones of equal width dividing the face into 10 scoring zones (1 -10).
Time limit refers to the specified time during which athletes shall shoot the arrow. In the individual ranking round, the time allowed for an athlete to shoot an end of six arrows is 240 seconds; in the elimination round, the time allowed for an athlete to shoot one arrow alternately is 30 seconds. In the team eliminations competition, a team consists of 3 archers and each team will shoot 24 arrows: 4 ends of 6 arrows per end, each archer shoots 2 arrows, all 3 archers of a team will be required to finish shooting within the time limit of 2 minutes.
