The Women's Compound team had recently won the silver medal in Berlin, Germany. They had lost by a whisker against France. France beat India in the finals by a narrow 229-228 margin. The team consists of Trisha Deb, Muskan Kirar and V Jyoti Surekha. This new feat will give the team a major boost and will also see the sport become famous in India.

In Compound Archery the bow is different to that of recurve one. It's much more stiffer and that in turn allows more accuracy. The archer gets a mechanical benefit and the bows are energy efficient. But this section of archery is not recognized in Olympics.
