Archery - Progression of indoor archery world records
The FITA (now WA) recognizes world records in indoor archery since
01.01.1973. Indoor archery is competed at two distances. With the recurve
bow the target diameter at 18 m is 40 cm and at 25 m 60 cm.
Since 01.01.1994 the FITA adds world records with the compound bow to the
record list. Here the target diameter on both distances is 40 cm.
WA accepts world records with the barebow since 2020. It was planned to
accept initial claims for barebow indoor records on 01.04.2020. However, due to the
current COVID-19 crisis and the resulting suspension of all world events,
all indoor records claimed until 31 March have been approved at the first
milestone.
