Jhano Hansdah and Bheigyabati Chanu were the only Indians to taste victory on yet another miserable day for the country's archers at the World Cup (Stage I) in Porec, Croatia.
India's compound archers failed to lift the sagging spirits of the 21-member contingent after a trite display in the elimination round.
Only veterans Hansdah and Chanu won matches in the first round of action.
Former national champion Hansdah eased into the pre-quarter-finals, where she was beaten by fourth seeded American Erika Anschutz 140-144.
Bheigyabati won her first round against Erika Anear of Australia, but fell to 10th seed Marcella Tonioli of Italy 134-139 in the next round.
National champion Namita Yadav, ranked 19, failed to get past 46th-ranked Anne Lantee of Finland, losing 128-136 in the second round after getting a bye in the first.
Gagandeep Kaur, occupying 26th position after the ranking round, got a first round bye but was beaten by 39-placed Viktoria Balzhanova of Russia 132-136.
The men's compound archers fared even worse.
Reigning Asian champion Isaiah Rajender Sanam, ranked 60, lost to 53-ranked Swiss Gregoire Fumeaux 137-139.
Commonwealth Games team gold medallists C Srither, Ch. Jignas and Ritul Chatterjee stumbled in the first round.
Srither lost to much lower-ranked Croat Vladimir Bartol 141-143, Jignas fell to Italian Pieto Greco 138-139 and Chatterjee was upstaged by 42nd placed Belgian Sam Kyritsoglou 138-142.
Even in the newly introduced mixed team events, the Indians failed to make a mark.
Having qualified as fourth seeds, recurve archers Rahul Banerjee and Deepika Kumari were defeated by the 13-ranked Polish team of Piotr Piatek and Justyna Mospinek 137-140 in the first round of the 16-team knockout competition.
Srither and Namita too went out in the opening round, losing to the Iranian pair of Amir Kazenpoor and Parsamehr Mahtab 143-145.
