The standard target distance for Paralympic para archery recurve events is 70 metres.
Recurve archers shoot at a target 70 metres away, using bows with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung. The target face is 122 centimetres in diameter and contains scoring rings from 1 to 10, with the innermost ring producing the highest score.
Para archery includes athletes with physical impairments, and competition rules may allow approved assistive equipment or adaptations. Athletes compete in categories including recurve, compound and W1, with distances and equipment rules varying by category.
The most common confusion is with compound para archery, which uses a 50-metre target distance. Recurve events follow the same 70-metre distance used in Olympic recurve archery, although Paralympic eligibility and equipment classifications differ.
