WA 3D-Bogenschießen
World Archery 3D is the international 3D archery format used in continental and world championship competition (European 3D, World Archery 3D Championships). The face geometry mirrors IBO — concentric 11 / 10 / 8 / body rings — but WA-3D explicitly scores misses (off the silhouette) as zero rather than treating any silhouette hit as automatic body-score.Details
WA-3D rounds at international level typically include both unmarked and marked-distance phases, with maximum effective ranges varying by bow style (compound vs barebow vs recurve) and event. A round is usually 24 targets shot in two phases.
Scoring values are 11 (centre, 11 pts), 10 (kill, 10), 8 (vital, 8), body (5), miss (0). The miss zero rule matters in tie-breaks — under WA-3D you can lose points on a miss, where some other formats forgive it as a body hit if the arrow stays on the silhouette.
For practice, WA-3D printables reuse the same physical face as our IBO prints (the 11/10/8/body geometry is identical). The scoring summary in the footer is the only thing that differs — WA-3D prints carry the explicit miss-zero rule.

Häufige Fragen
- How is WA-3D different from IBO?
- The face geometry (11 / 10 / 8 / body rings) is identical — same physical target. The differences are in the rules: WA-3D explicitly scores misses as zero, has its own arrow rules, and uses different stake-distance and class structures. WA-3D is also the format used at international championship level (European 3D, World 3D), while IBO is primarily a US national circuit.
