Archery

Poland entered two women and two men in the archery competition. It was the second time that Poland had sent archers to the Olympics. After winning a silver medal in the women's competition in 1972, Poland's best finisher in 1976 was Jadwiga Wilejto at 6th place. Both of the Polish men, however, improved considerably on the best male competitor of four years before. Poland placed eighth on the national leaderboard for archery.
