Abstract

Empirical evidence regarding gender differences in archery shooting performance remains inconsistent.
This study aims to compare shooting performance scores between male and female archers. A
comparative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 35 archers consisting of 16 males and 19
females selected through total sampling. Shooting performance was assessed in a single testing session
comprising 36 arrows. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test,
Levene’s test, an independent-samples t-test, and Cohen’s d effect size. The results revealed no
statistically significant difference in shooting performance scores between male and female archers,
t(33) = −0.920, p = .364. The effect size was small (Cohen's d = 0.31), indicating only a minor practical
difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that gender may not be a primary factor
determining archery shooting performance. Therefore, coaching programs should place greater
emphasis on athletes’ individual abilities and performance characteristics rather than relying solely on
gender-based considerations.
