The 15-member contingent is one of 41 other teams in the round which will conclude on May 10.
The Vietnamese archers are not expected to make much progress, given that many other Asian competitors are at much higher level, but they will meet up with athletes from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, their key rivals at the Southeast Asian Games next month in Singapore.
