American round
sports
in archery, a target-shooting event consisting of five ends (six arrows each), shot from distances of 60, 50, and 40 yards (55, 46, and 37 m). Two American rounds and two York rounds, consisting of 12 ends of 6 arrows each, constituted the U.S. men's championship until 1968, when other combinations of rounds were introduced. In the junior American round for boys and girls, 30 arrows each are shot from distances of 50, 40, and 30 yards.
