About The Sport

Archery is truly a historic sport – a contest of mind and body control, as well as precision – and has roots dating back to its use as a weapon of hunting and war in ancient times.

Since the creation of the bow and arrow, warriors and hunters have competed against each other in archery competitions to prove their targeting skills. Then, as now, concentric circle targets are used, with points increasing as the archers get their shots closer to the centre.
