I love Archery 🏹

A sport for the body, mind and soul

Historically, archery was used for hunting and combat, having been invented in the late Palaeolithic or early Mesolithic periods. The oldest signs of archery unearthed in Europe date to around 10,000 BC, while evidence in Asia dates the invention of the bow even earlier.
In modern times, archery is primarily a competitive sport and recreational activity. While the format has changed, the principles of precision, focus, control and repetition remain the same. Archery featured at the Olympic Games in the early 1900s and joined the programme permanently in 1972.
As a sport, archery is accessible to a wide range of people, no matter their age, gender or ability. It is a widespread pastime in both developed and developing countries. Archery is also one of the few sports that can be practised by able-bodied and impaired athletes on a level playing field.
