ONLINE INDOOR ARCHERY WORLD SERIES FIRST EVENT TAKES PLACE

Almost 2400 archers submitted scores for the global online tournament, organised by the world governing body to replace the cancelled indoor calendar. Archers were permitted to shoot their 60-arrow, 18-metre rounds anywhere in the world over the weekend of 21-22 November 2020. The recurve lists were headed by Felix Weiser of Germany, who shot 598, and Jung Ah Oh, of Korea, who shot 587.

Archers can submit their results live, confirming them with pictures of their scorecard and target if shooting at an unofficial venue. Those participating at a registered tournament must score in the application but do not need to provide proof. Archers can use single spot, vertical triple spot or triangular triple spot targets.

There will also be remote events in December, January and February; a worldwide open ranking will list every archer who participates.

World Archery also hosted a small invitational showcase event in Wohlen, Switzerland, with the finals streamed live. The recurve and compound events were won by Florian Faber, Gaby Schloesser, Mike Schloesser and Meeri-marita Paas.
