If an athlete is unable to continue shooting due to a medical issue after shooting has begun, a medical decision shall be made by the medical staff. A maximum waiting time of 15 minutes is allowed; If the athlete cannot continue thereafter, the athlete shall be considered withdrawn.
In team events, if an athlete withdraws due to medical or equipment issues, a substitute athlete may complete the match in their place.
An arrow shall be considered as “not shot” in the following cases:

If arrows overlap at the same point on the target and the total number of arrows cannot be precisely identified, the scores of clearly distinguishable arrows shall be accepted, provided the total number of arrows is not deficient. If the number of arrows in uncertain or if overlapping arrows prevent accurate scoring, the Judging Committee of the host country shall make the final decision on scoring and validity

3-5. Arrow Hits

An arrow shall not be counted as a score if it rebounds after hitting the target. Only arrows that remain lodged in the target shall be recognized for scoring.
If an arrow strikes another arrow and bounces off, and the impacted arrow is visibly damaged, the arrow that was originally embedded in the target shall be recorded for scoring
