Competition Format

Both men and women have the same size targets (1.22 m) and stand the same distance away from their target (70 m). The score for each arrow is determined by how close to the centre of the target it hits, with a score of 10 for hitting directly in the centre, down to 0 points if the target is missed entirely. Medals will be awarded in 4 events: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team, and Women's Team.

Individual

64 archers compete in both the men's and women's individual competition. A preliminary ranking round is held at 70 m, where each archer shoots 72 arrows (in six ends, or groups, of 12 arrows). The resulting score is used to seed the archers into a single elimination bracket.
Unlike what happened in Athens, the archers who win the first round of the individual competition will compete immediately in the following round, without waiting for the general conclusion of the eliminations. The order of shooting will be given by the placement of the archers after the ranking round. The archers shoot 12 arrows in ends of 3 arrows.

Team

Each country that has three archers in the individual competition who may also compete in the team competition. The scores from the individual ranking round are summed to determine the team score that is used to seed the teams in a single elimination bracket. Matches consist of each team firing 24 arrows in 4 ends of 6 arrows, with each archer on the team firing 8 arrows.
