The highest score of one shot is 10.9, so the perfect score is 654 when men and women shoot 60 shots.



In the second round of the finals, male and female players shoot 20 shots each for 20 minutes to determine the top four teams. At this time, the first and second teams will head to the gold medal match, while the third and fourth teams will play the bronze medal match.

The final round, which is a medal match, has a time limit of 50 seconds per shot. After the male and female players fired one shot each, the high team took two points, and the low team only scored zero points. If it's a tie, you'll get one point each. In this way, the team that reaches 16 points first wins by shooting one shot at a time.
