History of archery
Archery is one of the oldest arts still practised today. The history of the bow and
arrow has been in the history of humanity.
Archery initially emerged as a technique for hunting and then later for warfare.
The earliest evidence of archery – arrowheads made of flint – dates back to
around 20,000 BC.
The oldest known evidence of the bow and arrow comes from South African sites
such as Sibudu Cave, where likely arrowheads have been found, dating from
approximately 72,000–60,000 years ago.
Officials and Players in Archery
What do you call a person who plays archery?
An archer is someone who shoots arrows using a bow.
How many players are in archery?
Players are divided into two teams of 3-8 archers. All archers (bows in hand)
start off lined up against the wall on their side of the field. The referee will signal
the start of the game.
The term technical officials in archery covers judges and classifiers. They are
responsible for ensuring fair competition at local, continental and international
events.
The line judge is responsible for the archer end of the competition field,
confirming shooting order, compliance with timing and rotation rules, and
ensuring range safety.
Faculties and Equipment used in Archery
Equipment used in Archery.
Arm Guards
Arm guards are worn on the shooting hand in the forearm below the
elbow. This is safety equipment as the hands of the archers are saved
from bruises and other injuries. These injuries can occur when
stretching the bowstring with the arrow for a shot.
Arrows
Arrows are long rods that have to be shot by stretching them on a

bowstring and leaving them. Many materials are used to make these
arrows but the most common is the specialized carbon fiber as they
do not bend and also cannot be broken easily. Other materials used to
make these arrows are wood, aluminum, and fiberglass.
Arrows are used with bows and are shot at the target to earn more
and more points to win the game. Special arrows are used for hunting
animals. Arrows are available in the games stores in a set of 6 or 12.
Arrow Rest
Arrow rest is a device that is used to attach it to the bow when a shot
has to be made. Arrow rest helps archers to position the arrow
correctly.
Arrow Tip
The arrow tip is also known as point and it is the pointed tip of the arrow which
has to be pierced into the target after the shot. The arrow tip is made up of metal
and is available in different designs and shapes. These designs include field
points, broad heads, and target points.
Arrow Fletches
Fletches are attached to the arrows and they are available in the form
of vanes or feathers. The fletching is very important as it is
responsible for stabilizing the arrows which are on their way to the
target. Natural feathers or plastic are used to make these fletches.
Different types of fletching include helical, straight, and parabolic.
Archers need to choose proper fletching as it can affect the flight of
arrows.
Bags
Bags are available for the archers to carry all their pieces of
equipment which they will use in the game.
Bows
Another essential piece of equipment used in archery is the bow.

Bows consist of a string which is stretched by keeping an arrow
which is shot at the target to get points. Archery bows are of two types
which include compound bow and recurve bow. Recurve bows
consist of an arch while compound bows consist of rigid shafts.
Bow Sights
The bow sight is a tool which is used by archers to focus on the target.
Bow sight consists of pins which help the archers to shoot the target
easily.
Chest Guards
Chest guards are worn over the shirt or the uniform to protect the
chest from missed shots or string contraction. An adjustable strap is
also available which can be used to fasten the guard. Chest guards are
light in weight and do not cause a problem while shooting.
Crossbows
A crossbow is a bow which is used to shoot the arrows at short

distances. There is a long frame in the bow and it looks similar to the
capital T when kept horizontally. The speed of the arrows shot from
this bow is faster than other bows. The bow also consists of a trigger
so chances of human error is low.
Gloves
Gloves are pieces of equipment that are worn on the palms and help
the archers to make a grip on the bow and arrow. Gloves are also
worn for the protection of fingers from injuries. Gloves made up of
leather are durable.
Archery is a outdoor game which have approximately measured
