In 62 male recurve archers from the Indonesian national championship, technical quality is the factor most closely linked to the FITA round score among those measured, with a direct coefficient of 0.50, but the paper does not describe how technique was rated and some of its figures are not compatible with each other. In 31 Thai archers with international experience, a ten-item technique sheet is moderately linked to score (r = 0.38 before a programme with video and experts, 0.41 after), in a journal with questionable editorial standards and with an unreliable form for recording performance (alpha 0.56 to 0.66). On the side of the judges there is firmer ground: in 1999 four Swedish national coaches rated the skill of twenty young archers with close agreement (R = 0.90), and in the groups formed from that rating the least skilled shot worse than the other two; it was, however, a rating of overall skill rather than technique, and the study does not say it was made without knowing the archers' results. What is missing is a judgement made by someone who does not know the scores, using a published rating grid.claim:valutazione-tecnica-punteggio:revision:2026-03-16:2Mon, 16 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/technique/technique-rating-and-scoreclaim:valutazione-tecnica-punteggio:new_claim:2026-02-26:riportatoThu, 26 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT
