Description
Archery is the practice or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows. Archery has been used for hunting and combat. In modern times it is mainly a competitive sport and a fun activity. It is a 1 person sport and you just need a bunch of arrows and a bow to play it. It’s good to have really amazing skill and practice before you play in big games.
Country of Origin
Archery is from 10,000 years back.
It is from Medieval England.
History
The earliest evidence of Archery dates to the late Paleolithic period around 10,000 BC, when the Egyptian and neighbouring Nubian cultures used bows and arrows Archery for the purposes of hunting .

The countries popular with Archery are South Korea, United States of America, Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, China and Japan and more.
The Amount of countries playing Archery is 140!
Well known athletes and/or Teams
There are many great Archery Athletes and there are too many to name but, there are 64 men and 64 woman who play Archery. That equals altogether to 128 athletes.
How long in games
Archery has been a permanent sport at the Olympic Games since 1972. Archery's history at the Olympic Games is split into two parts = The Early Era and the Modern Era. The sport featured on the programme of the Olympic Games in 1900, 1904, 1908 and 1920 during the Early Era.
How changed over time
In recent years archery technology has improved a lot. Much like the recurve, the newest compound bows are even more compact. Using the same idea, their limbs actually sit completely parallel, which is not only easier to carry, but also increases the bow's power.
How affected by Covid-19
It has been affecting when the athletes or teams had to train and when they got ready for 2020. Luckily they got an extra year of practice so they could get better at shooting when the Olympics start. It had been a very hard year for the Olympians because of this virus.
Interesting facts
The first use of bows and arrows in combat was in 2340BC by the Babylonians. It is believed that bows and arrows have been used for at least 25,000 years based on the discovery of arrowheads in Africa. Archery is considered to be one of the oldest sports in the world!
Reflection & Summary
I like my sport because it’s good for your practice in shooting and aiming and you can be better at aiming nerf darts at your siblings. You can also learn a lot from this sport and it would be very fun.
