Archery, the art and practice of using a bow to shoot arrows, has a history that stretches back tens of thousands of years. Evidence of early bows and arrows dates to the Paleolithic period, when humans used them for hunting and survival. Over time, archery evolved into a vital tool for warfare, with civilizations such as the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Chinese developing specialized bows and military tactics. In the Middle Ages, the English longbow became legendary for its role in battles like Agincourt, shaping both military strategy and social structures. Beyond warfare, archery became a sport and recreational pursuit, with formal competitions emerging in Asia and Europe. Today, archery is both an Olympic sport and a cultural practice, preserving ancient techniques while embracing modern innovations in materials and design, reflecting a rich legacy that spans practical utility, martial skill, and artistic expression.
