History Of Archery

Bowmen were the most valuable assets of many armies throughout early history and some of their exploits, like those of Robin Hood, have become the stuff of legends. Their ancient skills and traditions are kept alive today by the many clubs practicing archery as a sport in one of its many forms.
The bow and other equipment have been developed to such an extent, that in the hands of a good archer, phenomenal accuracy and distances are now achievable. Despite this, the origins of many techniques, tournaments, rules and etiquette can still be traced back to medieval times or earlier.
As a sport, archery is open to very wide range of ages and abilities - giving opportunities for both team and individual competition, or just sheer enjoyment!!
