The oldest continuously held archery tournament still extant, known as the Ancient Scorton Arrow, was founded in Yorkshire in 1673; and about 1790 the Royal Toxophilite (Greek toxon, ”bow”; philos, ”loving”) Society was formed to advance the sport. The Grand National Archery Society, the official organization of British archery, was established in 1844, and it has conducted championship contests since that year. Archery as a sport was introduced in North America in the 17th century. The earliest organized body of archers in the United States, known as the United Bowmen of Philadelphia, was active from 1828 to 1859, and the modern ruling body, the National Archery Association of the United States, was founded in 1879. Under the auspices of the association, the first annual archery tournament was held in Chicago in 1879. Archery competition is divided into various categories, such as target, field, and flight shooting. The main events of a target-shooting tournament are called rounds, and the number of arrows shot and the range of distance are specified. In U.S. tournaments, target faces are made of paper and pinned to straw mats. The target is circular and has a series of concentric rings around a solid center, or bull's-eye. The center of the bull's-eye is suspended 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) above the ground. Ranging outward from the bull's-eye, the colors of the rings are gold, red, blue, black, and white. The rings are assigned point values for arrows shot into them; from gold to white, the values range from 10 (in the center of the gold) to 1 (in the outer part of the white ring).

Summer Sports Hexcel's Olympic Challenge Hexcel joined thousands of athletes around the world in preparing for the 100th Olympic Games, which took place in Atlanta this summer. While the athletes concentrated on their training to get the most from their bodies, equipment designers teamed with Hexcel to obtain maximum performance from the athletes hardware. Hexcel worked behind the scenes, fine-tuning the details to provide the performance advantage. For example 2,000 pairs of javelin, track and high jump shoe soles were hand fabricated by Hexcel engineers, and a competition rowing boat company was advised to tint the resin used in the boats' construction to avoid the need for cosmetic paint, therefore, making vital weight savings in an 8-man shell. To understand the scope of Hexcel's involvement, the number of events influenced by our products and the huge number of opportunities in the sports goods market, the following is a quick guide to some of the applications. Archery Archery equipment has come a long way in recent years. Many of the modern bows used in general competition are composite, or wood/composite hybrids. Long time Hexcel customer, Easton Sports, uses carbon materials for high strength, tight tolerance arrow tubes, which provide the consistency that Olympic archer require. When glass fiber was first used as a material for arrows, Hexcel developed the process of using an internal bladder with an external mold for superior roundness and surface finish, resulting in a truer flight. Now, leading manufacturers use slit UD tape of a low areal weight.

Andy Milman Archery Activities Be sure to visit the National Archery Association's web page. It contains official information from the National Governing Body for Olympic Archery in the US. I have been involved in Olympic-style archery for over 10 years now, as a competitor, a coach, and sometimes a judge. It provides a much-needed contrast to my otherwise sedentary ways as a scientist. I have attended many seminars and courses on how to teach archery, especially to children. I now teach courses for potential archery instructors. There is one especially designed for camp counsellors with no previous archery experience that teaches them how to run safe and effective programs.

92. Mongolia's Naadam Used To Define Civilization: Archery, Wrestling And Horse Ridi a sports festival rivaling the Olympics as the Earth s oldest games. Long ago, this was what constituted civilization wrestling, horse riding and archery. http://www.gluckman.com/Naadam.html

The Alternative Olympics Every summer, the hardships and food shortages are forgotten as Mongolian nomads wandering one of the world's harshest environments all merrily congregate for the annual celebration of the Three Manly Sports By Ron Gluckman / Mongolia D UST SWIRLS LIKE BROWN CYCLONES across the grassland in the distance, long before the riders break the horizon. Then, the ground heaves to the pounding of hundreds of hoofs, as horses surge for miles across the steppes. The race course is a rainbow of color. Banners fly from carnival booths. Horse manes are pinned punk-style, with ribbons. Reins are studded with shiny silver. And riders in the world's largest horse race are wrapped in embroidered robes of blue, orange and magenta. In the barren plains of Mongolia, where winters are ferocious, food is scarce and one can roam the range for days without seeing a sign of human settlement, there would seem to be no better test of mettle than simple survival. However, thousands of hearty descendants of Genghis Kahn compete in shows of skill and strength every summer at Naadam, a sports festival rivaling the Olympics as the Earth's oldest games. Long ago, this was what constituted civilization: wrestling, horse riding and archery. Mongols maintain that their "Three Manly Sports" separate the real men from the boys.

The archers will shoot in team competition and individual competition, using olympic recurve and compound bows. The tournament will also recognize the U.S. Archery All-Academic Team as well as the Collegiate All-Americans, Madison said. It will be an outdoor competition open to the public. "I'm so pleased that we'll be able to host the tournament for 2005," said Taylor. "We have so many things at GC&SU to showcase to visitors. We will look forward to showing them our beautiful campus and offering up some Southern hospitality." "Though the program is young, the GC&SU Archery Team has done well at the state and national level," Madison said. "That gave us some recognition." The younger Madison discovered archery at a mall in Atlanta where there was an archery range, said his father, who is a former archer himself and now a member of the board of directors of the National Archery Association Foundation and a NAA National Coach. The Madisons are from Macon. "We were really fortunate to get a good core of kids with good attitudes together," Madison said. "We also had great support from the school. We had quality indoor practice facilities and that gave us an opportunity to practice more frequently. Some colleges have a difficult time starting a program, but we didn't."

B.C. Military Usage A.D. Military Usage Recreational Usage Olympic History B.C. Military Usage From prehistoric times, the bow was a principal weapon of war and of the hunt throughout the world, except in Australia. Some authorities date the origin of archery as early as the Aurignacian period, about 25,000 years before the modern era. The earliest people known to have used the bow and arrow were the ancient Egyptians, who adopted the weapon at least 5000 years ago. In the time of the earliest pharaohs, the Egyptians practiced archery in hunting, as well as in warfare against the ancient Persians, who were then equipped only with spears and slingshots. Recreational archery was also practiced, among the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, one instance of the latter being the competition in which Odysseus won the hand of Penelope. Soon after, however, the bow and arrow was used extensively in the ancient world. The Assyrians and Babylonians depended on the weapon, and the Old Testament refers several times to archery as a characteristic skill of the ancient Hebrews. A.D. Military Usage
