https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/competition/shooting-order-in-the-set Changes to this claim in Matteo Campagna's evidence registry: its status, its year-by-year history, revisions of the page. en-gb https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/competition/shooting-order-in-the-setOnly one study has put the question to the test, and it did so on competition data: 6,374 three-arrow sets from elite recurve individual matches, taken from three Olympic Games, the 2021 World Championships and a European Grand Prix, with the shooting order perfectly balanced (3,187 sets shot first and 3,187 shot second). On the score of the last arrow of the set the order carries no weight at all (t = 0.017, p = 0.986), even after accounting for the two previous arrows and the state of the match. That is also where the limit lies: the study looks only at the third arrow, and it does not separate the order from the information that comes with it, namely the opponent's score already on the target. It also helps to remember that nearly two sets out of three, 64.5 per cent, do not decide the match, so the sets in which order might matter most are a minority. For the team event, where the order of the three archers is a technical choice that coaches of the Korean national team say they make on the basis of statistics, no count has been published.claim:ordine-di-tiro-nel-set:revision:2026-03-07:2Sat, 07 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/competition/shooting-order-in-the-setclaim:ordine-di-tiro-nel-set:new_claim:2026-01-08:riportatoThu, 08 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT
