Archery
Archery is a sport that involves the use of a bow and a number of arrows. The bow is used to shoot the arrows at targets, either static or moving depending on the type of archery. It is believed that the bow and arrow was invented to hunt animals for food, it later became a weapon of warfare. Archery has now become a precision sport and takes place worldwide.
The most popular form of archery involves shooting a number of arrows at a target from set distances; this is known as 'Target Archery'. Another form of archery is 'Field Archery'. This form is a combination of the traditional form used for hunting with the modern form of target archery. Targets are set out in a course in a wooded area. Archers follow the course and once they come across a target they aim and shoot. This form is becoming more and more popular across Europe and the US. Competitive archery is a sport of precision and accuracy, and is as much a mental game as it is physical.
