Archery is descended from the use of the bow and arrow for military and hunting purposes dating back at least 5000 years and possibly more. Organized archery competitions date from no later than 1583 in England, not long before the bow was to be superseded by the rifle as a weapon of war. It has been an Olympic sport since 1900 (with some interruptions).

Editorial - The Archer The bow first originated as a hunting weapon and then quickly became a weapon of war. For thousands of years they were an auxiliary weapon used in support of infantry and cavalry. All this changed in about the fourth century AD when tribes of what is now Russia improved the primitive bow. This great technological advance in warfare was pioneered by the Magyars (Huns) and perfected by the Mongols.

Woodford Archers Promoting Archery for over 50 years A brief history of Archery Early prehistory and the origins of archery Neolithic archery Bronze and Iron Age archery Medieval Archery ... Archery in the 20th/21st century Early Prehistory and the origins of archery Back to Top Neolithic Archery Back to Top Bronze and Iron Age archery By the Bronze Age the Chinese were using composite bows of more than one design. Usually made from a combination of horn, sinew and wood. The Scandinavians too were using composite bows by the Bronze Age, however these were probably not a native invention. The Egyptians had been using archery since at least 3,000BC, and the earliest Pharaohs were using the bow for both hunting and warfare. Their enemies the Persians were still using spears and slingshot, however not long after successes on the battlefield the bow was widely adopted as a weapon of war. It's use spread to the Shang Chinese (1766-1027BC), Babylonians, ancient Hebrews and Assyrians amongst others. The Bronze Age sees a decline in the number of artifacts found in Northern Europe, and by the La Tene period (Iron Age in northern and western Europe) we find little evidence of archery in the archaeology. Neither do the Roman writers of this period mention the bow as a Germanic weapon. In the east archery continued pretty much as before, and we see the first direct evidence for use of the crossbow by the Chinese during the Han dynasty (206 - 220AD), although there is literary evidence pointing to its invention as early as 600BC. The Romans themselves adopted the Asiatic bow for their cavalry, and seem to have owed much of their military success to the use of archery.

History of Archery Archery is one of the oldest arts still practiced. From its early development in ancient times until the 1500s, the bow was man’s constant companion and has been the most widely used of all weapons during recorded history. Archery ranks in importance as a cultural advance with the development of speech and the art of making fire, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. The use of the bow and arrow first appears in Egyptian artworks and is reported in folklore from more than 5,500 years ago although its invention probably dates back to the Stone Age. English literature honors the longbow for famous victories in the battles of Crecy, Aigincourt and Poitiers. In fact, the bow was the principal weapon of the national defense in England for centuries. Ghengis Khan’s Mongol hordes conquered much of the known world by employing short, powerful bows. For the Native Americans, the bow was both a means of subsistence and existence before and during the days of English and later American colonization. Many British monarchs, including Queen Victoria, practiced archery. Henry VIII gained considerable renown as a bowman; organized competitions in archery for sport, began during his reign. He helped found the first "club", the

Now, get ready for the world of the Olympics. Have you ever wondered how the Olympics started? In Olympia, Greece the Olympic Games were held every four years. First Olympic game was recorded in 776 BC; that was about 3,000 years ago. At that time this great festival took place to honor the Greek gods. Olympics were held during the great festival. My resources say Olympics were held to please the various gods. One God, in particular, the most important was called Zeus. The Olympics were called Olympiad in Greece. Now we know where the games are held, but we dont know what games they played? In the first thirteen Olympic games, there was only one event and that was the sprint. The sprint event was about one hundred and eight meters in length. Then later Pentathlon was added and it had different events. There was discus, javelin, jumping, running, and wrestling. After a while, they added Equestrian events and that included chariot racing and riding. The Ancient Olympics did have lots of events. They had two major events Equestrian and Pentathlon events.

Types of Equipment The Recurve Bow - Many contemporary bow handles (risers) are made of aluminum alloys and are machined for a combination of strength and lightness. Some have wood risers and there are some that are made of a magnesium and aluminum mixture, which is heated to liquid form and poured into a mold. Once cooled, it is cleaned, final machined and painted. Bow limbs are generally constructed of man-made materials, such as fiberglass, carbon and syntactic foam. The limbs store the energy of the draw and release it to the arrow. The string and the limbs are commonly removed from the riser when the bow is not in use, allowing for easy storage of the "knocked-down" bow.

Veni, Vedi, Venti... F or millennia Egyptians were regarded as the most skilled archers in war and recreation. T he Egyptian archers appear to have possessed some special skill to shoot the arrows with bows which would, by modern standards, be too powerful. Arrows must to some extent be matched to the archer as well as to the bow; and given the long supremacy of the Ancient Egyptians in warfare the three components were well matched. But, it is a skill that has passed from existence or has lain dormant for many years. “Archery is a very old sport, especially in Egypt,” says 20-year-old Amr Moustafa. “We have the past with the Ancient Egyptians, the pharaohs, but it’s new for this century. People have always practised it here and there were attempts to get it organized but they were unsuccessful until the past two years. The “compound bow”, still in use today, first appeared in 2,800 BC. and was further developed by the Egyptians. The unstrung bow, made from wood, tipped with animal horn and held together with animal sinew and glue, resembled a ‘C’ shape and required two people to string it. A
