There is a single study, of 189 young archers at Indonesian competitions between December 2024 and February 2025, with the competitive anxiety questionnaire completed before shooting. Anxiety varies between the distance categories (F = 44.6, p < 0.001): it is highest at 50 metres, then at 70, then at 40, with 1.8 points between 50 and 70 metres, 2.8 between 50 and 40 and 1.0 between 70 and 40 (p = 0.002). The order does not follow the metres, though, and distance is not the only thing that changes: those shooting at 40 metres are aged 12 to 19, those at 50 or 70 aged 17 to 26, and each distance matches a different competition category, which the paper describes only by age. The study shows that different groups of archers come to competition with different levels of anxiety; it does not show that distance is what changes them. The journal has questionable editorial standards, so the registry reports the study but does not use it to decide the status, which remains not studied.
