Spotlight Sport Archery Click a link to read more about Scoring Competition News, History, Fast Facts More Sports Scoring The circular target has a series of ten concentric rings around a solid gold center, or "bull's-eye." Ranging outward from the bull's eye, the colors of the rings are red, blue, black, and white. The rings are assigned point values for arrows shot into them ranging from 10 for a bull's-eye to 1 point for an arrow in the outer white ring. Striking the target dead-center is somewhat like standing on the goal line of a football field and hitting an apple under the opposite goal post. Competition Men and women compete in separate divisions, and the top 64 men and 64 women from the qualifying rounds then enter head to head direct elimination matches. The winner of each match advances until the gold medal winner is determined. Matches use 18 arrows until the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, which are 12-arrow matches. Archers can propel arrows at speeds of more than 150 miles per hour.

48. History One of the major historical developments of archery was the enhanced and refined manytimes throughout history, culminating in the modern olympic recurve bow http://www.toxophily.com/history/history.htm

History Overview At one time or another, archery has been identified as one of mankind's three great advances. The other two advances are said to be the development of fire and speech. As an archer, I would strongly support this opinion, but I'm sure there are many other developments which would also rank alongside archery. In any case, the history of archery is indeed great and stretches back well over 5,000 years. Although the invention of archery has been dated to as long ago as 23,000 years BC, the earliest known artwork depicting bow and arrow is located in Egypt, and has been dated to around 3,000 BC. From these and other resources, it seems clear that the Egyptians used archery for both hunting and making war. There are also clear indications of the use of bows and arrows throughout the ancient world including Africa, America and the Far East. One of the major historical developments of archery was the invention of the recurve bow by the Assyrians around 1,500 BC. This new design provided greater power and significantly improved the handling and efficiency of the bow. This basic recurve design has been enhanced and refined many times throughout history, culminating in the modern Olympic recurve bow. In Europe during the Middle Ages, the longbow was supreme. This formidable weapon is said to have played a major role in the conflicts that beset Europe throughout the Middle Ages, and in particular has been identified as a major contributor in the battles of Crecy (1346), Poitiers (1356) and

Modern bows, used to propel arrows, generally are constructed of wood, fiberglass, or graphite or carbon composites with a taut cord or string connecting the bent ends of the bow. Arrows are usually made of either aluminum or carbon graphite, pointed at one end and with flight-stabilizing feathers at the other end. A notch in this butt end is fitted to the bowstring. As the string is pulled back, the bow bends for maximum tension, and when the string is released, the arrow is propelled.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] SOURCE: 1996 U.S. Olympic Archery Team Fact Book, September 1995 (unedited) U.S. Archery Front History of Archery and the NAA Archery is one of the oldest arts of ancient times which is still practiced today. From its first development until the 1500s, the bow was man’s constant companion and has been the most widely used of all weapons in recorded history. The bow allowed the prehistoric human to become the most efficient hunter on earth, providing him safety, food and raw materials such as bone, sinew and hide. From that time on, archery has played an important role in many of the world’s civilizations. Starting with the reign of William the Conquerer, the bow was England’s principal weapon of national defense for several centuries. Around the year 1200, Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes conquered much of the known world employing short, powerful bows. For Native Americans, archery was the means of subsistence and existence during the days of English and later American colonization. Finally, after the bow’s replacement by firearms as a weapon of war, archery became a favored sport, thus securing its continuous practice throughout history. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, archery’s importance as a cultural advance ranks with the development of speed and the art of making fire. The use of the bow appears in folklore from over 3000 years ago, although its invention probably predates that era.

Archery More than 35 sports events will be showcased at this year's Sydney Olympic Games. Some events, like the triathlon, are barely 30 years old while others, like archery, have have a much longer history. In ancient times, the practice of archery was important to the survival of humankind. In modern times, it has become a challenging sport practiced by people all over the world. The History of Archery - The bow and arrow is the most widely used weapon in all of recorded history. It allowed prehistoric (from a time before history was recorded) humans to be good hunters and gave them the means to protect themselves. Many historians believe that the invention of the bow and arrow is as important to the development of humankind as the ability to create fire. The bow and arrow has undergone many transformations. In 3500 B.C., Egyptians used bows that were as tall as they were. Almost 2,000 years later, bows had become shorter and more curved. In 1200 B.C., archers developed the skill of shooting from moving chariots, and in A.D. 500, the Romans began to draw the arrow to their faces instead of their chests, which gave them better aim.
