It's a proposal that the federation occasionally brings up, but I see it as very complicated.

I have one very indirect source who has told me that it'll be VERY difficult to get compound in, simply because the IOC think the general public won't get the difference between the bows, and the scoring system in Compound is 'unmodernised'. She thinks field archery, of some description has a better shout, because it could be done with much smaller numbers, and would be televisually quite distinct. However, even that is only likely if nations agreed either to scrap the recurve teams competitions apart from XP, or make them teams of two - this would apparently free about 32 quotas for two very small fields in field archery, but world Archery is not really interested in that sort of compromise (can't blame them). Apparently WA is content to have gotten the extra mixed event without giving up its teams as it is.

I read something about 3D archery too, but I think that's completely unrealistic.
