Results from major international target archery competitions from 1995 to 2024 have been used to show the score trends and the estimated probability of winning either a podium position or winning the event versus the three-archer team`s position in a ranking round. The probabilities fall approximately exponentially versus ranking position. Subjectively, teams need to rank at least in the top 7 to have a reasonable probability of winning a medal. The corresponding average ranking position of each of the three team members needing to be in the mid-20s. The unique impact of the Republic of Korea`s participation in recurve team events has also been considered.
