Format of recurve archery:

The format for recurve archery is different from compound archery.

For starters, the distance to the target is longer, 70m away, as opposed to 50m in compound archery

Although both individual categories see 15 arrows in total per competitor (3 sets of five arrows), in the recurve archery, at the end of the set, the individual with the higher score is awarded two points, and if the score is tied, both players receive a point each. 

The first to reach six points is declared the winner.
