Archery is a centuries-old sport, first used for hunting and gathering,
then later adapted for use in war. English longbowmen were notorious
for their skill and for the astounding distances from which they were able
to hit their enemies. Mongol horse bowmen were unparalleled in their
skill at shooting moving targets while themselves moving at a gallop.
Centuries of history have been linked to archery, and even today, it
remains one of the world's most respected sports and skills.
Competitive archery has been a part of the Olympic Summer Games since the Games' reintroduction to modern times, and archers from around the world gather quadrennially to determine who deserves the gold. Those who compete in events face several different challenges, including tests of range, speed and overall accuracy. Every little bit of assistance you receive from your equipment helps, so finding the perfect gear for your style is important.
Bow hunting has also grown in popularity in recent years, as bows have become lighter and capable of much greater range and accuracy. Composite materials have increased the overall strength of the bows while also reducing the amount of force needed to draw the string. Arrows have also incorporated the latest technology to make them lighter, fly farther, and increase their positive aerodynamics.
When you're just starting out in the field of archery, the basic equipment you'll need is a bow, a quiver of arrows, and an arm guard. The arm guard protects against the snap of the bow, which can be very painful if it strikes unprotected skin. Selective equipment includes items like an arrow catch or secondary nock points. The full gamut of archery equipment is readily available for even the casual archer.
