How to Play Points are scored by hitting a target consisting of five coloured rings. The closer the arrow land to the centre of the target the, the higher the score. At the Olympic Games the targets are 122cm in diameter. Archers shoot their arrows from a distance of 70m away. Archers compete head-to-head through a series of knock-out elimination round until only the medilists remain. || include component="backlinks" page="Archery" limit="10"
