Mixed Team Matches

Each team will shoot 6 arrows at their respective distance and target face, 3 arrows per team member. Each archer will fire one arrow than step back behind the waiting line allowing for their teammate to advance to the shooting line and fire. This will continue until all 6 arrows have been fired. Archers will be given 2 minutes to fire 6 arrows. Archers will be required to stay behind their waiting line until their teammate is back across and arrows must remain in each archers quiver until archers are on the shooting line.

Target faces will be a Hit-Miss style face as pictured. 122cm for Olympic Recurve and 80cm for Compound.

1 point will be awarded for every arrow in the yellow ring. 0 points will be awarded for arrows hitting anywhere else. After all archers have shot, a count of total hits per team will be taken. The team with the lowest number of hits will be penalized a strike. A team is knocked out of the match once they have received two strikes. The match will continue until all, but one team is knocked out. The team that has not been knocked out is our champion.

In the case of a tie for lowest number of hits, both teams will be penalized a strike. In the case of a tie where remaining teams all have 2 strikes, a shoot off will be used to determine the winners. In the case of a shoot off, each archer from each team will fire one arrow and the team with the closest arrow to center will be declared the winner.
