1440 Round

The 1440 round is a classic outdoor target archery competition format. It was formerly known as the FITA round and is now called the WA 1440 Round (after World Archery).

Why “1440”? The maximum score is 1440 points. Archers shoot 144 arrows at four different distances. A typical example for a men’s recurve 1440 round is 36 arrows per distance at 90, 70, 50, and 30 meters. Different rules apply for women and other classes.
