Run archery was developed during the 1990s by European archery associations. [1] Since 2000, some countries in other areas like Russia, Hungary, the Netherlands [2] and Germany [3] have begun organizing annual national championships. Run archery was officially admitted as a discipline of the World Archery Federation in 2003.
Like in the sport of biathlon, participants start with running, and alternate between running and shooting series of three arrows at a 16-centimetre-wide (6.3 in) target from 18 m (20 yards) away. For scoring, it does not matter whether the target is hit in the center or at the edge. For each missed target the athlete must run a penalty loop. The number of laps depend on the sport event. At the end, the fastest athlete wins. The bow must be held in hand during running; arrows can be left at the shooting range or may be carried in a back quiver.
Between each lap of 400 metres (440 yd), there's two shooting on 16-centimetre-wide (6.3 in) target from 18 m (20 yards), 6 arrows available to hit 4 targets per shooting.
Each missed target results in penalty loop of 60 metres (66 yd).
After the first lap of 400 metres (440 yd), there's a first shooting, the archer is up, he has 6 arrows to hit the 4 targets ; then there's a second lap of 400m, a second shooting, this time the archer is kneeling, he has 6 arrows to hit the 4 targets; finishing the race with the last lap of 400m.
Between each lap of 1,000 metres (1,100 yd), there's three shooting on 16-centimetre-wide (6.3 in) target from 18 m (20 yards), 4 arrows available to hit 4 targets per shooting.
Each missed target results in penalty loop of 150 metres (160 yd).
After the first lap of 1,000 metres (1,100 yd), there's a first shooting, the archer is up, he has 4 arrows to hit the 4 targets ; then there's a second lap of 1,000m, a second shooting, this time the archer is kneeling, he has 4 arrows to hit the 4 targets; then again a third lap of 1,000m, a third shooting, the archer is back up, he has 4 arrows to hit the 4 targets; finishing the race with the last lap of 1,000m.

The biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.

Kyūdō is the Japanese martial art of archery. Kyūdō is based on kyūjutsu, which originated with the samurai class of feudal Japan. In 1919, the name of kyūjutsu was officially changed to kyūdō, and following the example of other martial arts that have been systematizing for educational purposes, kyūdō also reorganized and integrated various forms of shooting that had been used up until then. High level experts in kyūdō may be referred to as kyūdōka (弓道家)(Member of the Kyūdō family or house) and some practitioners may refer to themselves as yumihiki (弓引き), or 'bow puller'. Kyūdō is practised by thousands of people worldwide. The bow they use is called a yumi (弓), and the most common one has an asymmetrical shape of more than 2.0 metres, and is characterized by the archer holding the part of the bow below the center to shoot the arrow.
