FormatDouble FITA Round. FITA Round consists of 36 arrows at 30 metres, 50 metres, 70 metres, and 90 metres, or 144 arrows. Double FITA Round consists of 288 arrows total.

The 1971 World Champion was American John Williams. In the opening FITA round in München he broke the world record for a FITA round, despite missing the target with one arrow. Williams held on for an easy gold medal and a world record for the Double FITA Round. The bronze medalist was Finland’s Kyösti Laasonen, who had been European Champion in 1968 and runner-up to Williams at the 1971 Worlds. This was the first of his four Olympic appearances, but his only medal. He would later win the World Championships in 1981.
