FITA Rules

FITA (Fédération Internationale de Tir à l’Arc) rules govern international archery competitions. They specify how matches are scored, setting standards for target sizes, distances, and equipment. Archers shoot a set number of arrows within time limits, aiming for the center of the target to earn points—more hits near the center mean higher scores. The rules ensure fair play, define fouls (like stepping over the shooting line), and outline procedures for tie-breaks and equipment checks. Overall, FITA rules create a consistent, fair framework so athletes compete ethically and safely across all international events.
