All about Archery
Archery is the sport of shooting arrows at a target using a bow. Archers need focus, a steady aim, controlled breathing and strong arms. Targets are usually round, with rings scoring more points closer to the centre.
Archery has been practised for thousands of years in many cultures and has been an Olympic sport since 1900. Modern archers use compound bows with pulleys or recurve bows, and safety rules are very important.
