Qualification system A total of 64 archers (32 per gender) will qualify to compete at the games. There was three qualification tournaments for countries to qualify their athletes. A nation may enter only three athletes per gender. If a nation does qualify the maximum number of athletes, it will also qualify for the team event in the respective gender.

The top five teams plus the host nation will qualify three athletes per respective gender at the Pan American Championships. The Top athletes in each gender will also qualify from the Pan American Olympic Festival. Eight individual slots are also up for qualification at the 2014 Pan American Championship. Finally, four slots per gender will also be available at a last chance qualification tournament in 2015. If a country winning a slot at the Pan American Olympic Festival, wins a team slot later, the individual quota is added to the eight available at the Pan American Championship.

A nation may also qualify a team if it managed to qualify up to three individuals at the three qualification tournaments. An archer may not compete in the last chance qualification event, if they have already qualified a quota for their country.
