    The 18m Round consists of 60 arrows on the 40cm target face or the 40cm triple face.

  • 7.2.2.1.

    Description:
    The 122cm, 80cm, 60cm and 40cm faces are divided into five concentric colour zones arranged from the centre outwards as follows: yellow (gold), red, light blue, black and white. Each colour is divided by a thin line into two zones of equal width thus making 10 scoring zones of equal width when measured from the centre of the gold:
    • 6.1cm on the 122cm target face;
    • 4cm on the 80cm target face;
    • 3cm on the 60cm face;
    • 2cm on the 40cm face.
    The dividing lines shall be entirely within the higher scoring zone in each case. There are no dividing lines between light blue and black, nor between black and white. The line marking the outermost edge of the white shall be made entirely within the scoring zone. The width of the thin dividing line and the outermost line shall not exceed 2mm on the target faces. The centre of the target face shall be indicated by a small “+” (cross). The lines of the cross shall not exceed 1mm in width or 4mm in length. An inner 10 ring, (which is marked as an X on the score cards) of 6.1cm in diameter for the 122cm target face and 4cm in diameter for the 80cm target face, is required to help determine ties in ranking. For indoor compound events the 10 ring is 3cm on the 60cm face and 2cm in diameter for the 40cm face.
    • Outdoors the 80cm 6-ring face may be used at 50m, 40m and 30m. The rings have the same dimensions as the 80cm faces, but with the 4 to 1 scoring zones removed. The lowest scoring zone is the light blue 5.
    • Indoors triple faces may be used as follows. (For the Indoor Match Round, the 40cm triple face shall be used. R- and C). They have the same dimensions as the World Archery 60cm and 40cm faces respectively, but with the 5 to 1 scoring zones removed. The lowest scoring zone is therefore light blue 6. Each set consists of three small faces on a white background arranged symmetrically in a triangular pattern with the centres respectively bottom left, at the top, and at the bottom right, or in a vertical row. The centres of the golds shall be approximately 32cm distant from each other on 60cm faces and 22cm distant from each other on 40cm faces. There is a distinction between regular triple faces and Recurve (R) and Compound (C) 40cm triple faces. The 40cm triple face (both triangular and vertical) will differ in the size of the 10 ring: the 40cm-R has a 40mm 10 ring, the 40cm-C has a 20mm 10 ring and the combined triple face has the two 10 rings.

    Rounds and faces.
    For the Indoor Match Round, the triple 40cm faces shall be used. In the Elimination and Finals Rounds the faces shall be set in pairs on each target butt. The use of single or triple faces in all other competitions is the choice of the organisers, who can allow the athletes in the same class and division to shoot on a different type of face.

    • The 122cm face, 122cm in diameter;
    • The 80cm face, 80cm in diameter;
    • The 80cm 6-ring face (for multiple set-ups with score zones 5-10);
    • The Academic Round Hit/miss face.
    There are 10 indoor target faces:
    • The 60cm diameter face;
    • The 60cm triangular triple face;
    • The 60cm vertical triple face;
    • The 40cm diameter face;
    • The 40cm triangular triple face;
    • The 40cm vertical triple face
    • The 40cm-R triangular triple face;
    • The 40cm-C triangular triple face;
    • The 40cm-R vertical triple face;

  • 7.2.4.1.2.

    Set-up for four 40cm single or triple triangular faces.
    In case of four 40cm faces, the maximum height of the centres of the upper faces shall be 162cm above the floor. The centres of the lower faces shall be a minimum of 100cm above the floor. In the case of triple triangular 40cm faces, the maximum height refers to the highest centres of the triple faces and the minimum height refers to the lowest centres of the triple faces. The minimum distance between the scoring zones of two faces at the same height shall be 10cm. Each face shall be placed in its quarter of the target butt (see [EXT=49] and [EXT=51]).

  • 14.5.2.1.2.

    Indoors the target set-up for the shoot-off shall be as follows:
    • For individuals the shoot-off should take place on the same target face type (40cm vertical triple face, 40cm triangular triple face, 60cm face) on which athletes involved have shot in the Qualification Round;
    • For individuals there shall be one athlete per target butt on neutral target butts in the middle of the field with the target face in the middle of the butt. If space is limited, then there may be two athletes per butt, with one target face for each athlete, positioned left and right on the butt;
    • For individuals if triple faces are used the athlete shall shoot on the middle face;
    • For the teams’ shoot-off there shall be one butt per team. When using the triangular triple face the team shall have one face of which the lower centres shall be at 130cm above the floor. For vertical triple faces, it shall be turned horizontally. Each team member shall decide at which centre the athlete shoots (one arrow per centre).

  • 8.2.1.3.

    Target set-up.
    • The 20cm and 40cm faces may be placed at any angle provided is still obvious which face or column the athlete is to shoot;
    • 20cm faces shall be 12 per butt in four columns of three;
    • 40cm faces shall be placed four per butt;
    • 60cm faces: On marked rounds a double 60cm target face setup is recommended and their centres should be positioned so that both archers have an equal shot.

  • 7.2.4.

    Size of target face at different distances and target set-up indoors. For indoor shooting at 25m, the target face of 60cm shall be used. For the distance of 18m, the target face of 40cm shall be used.

  • 33.16.5. Numbering and Markings.

    The shooting points and the corresponding targets shall have the same number, easily visible, and beginning from the right with number 1. At WASCH, WASYCH and SAWC competitions, the shooting lanes shall be numbered on the left and right side at the front edge of the shooting ramp. The numbers at the shooting ramp shall be placed so that they do not obstruct TV coverage of the shooting athletes and shall be 20cm high and 3cm in width. The size of the target numbers is 40cm high with a line width of 4cm and they shall be mounted immediately above the targets.
