The events took place at the Fangshan Sports Training Base in Nanjing, China.

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a maximum of 2 competitors, 1 per each gender.

As hosts, China was given the maximum quota, however they declined the spot for the boys' event and thus the spot was reallocated to the next best nation at the 2013 World Archery Youth Championships.

[1] To be eligible to participate at the 2014 Youth Olympics, athletes must have been born between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 1999.
