Synopsis

This book surveys the history, rules, techniques, and equipment of archery, a centuries-old sport that provides an engaging and accessible way to develop eye-hand coordination, build focus and concentration, and promote physical fitness. From the historical techniques of the long-bow, through the clout shooting and roving traditions of the ancient English countryside, and up to the modern competitive sport practiced today, the author explores the multifaceted history of archery. It examines the range of archery's rich history, from its evolution from a hunting skill into a competitive pastime, the resurgence of interest in the sport in the 19th century, and the role of archery in both the Olympic Games and the wider sports world. With this in-depth look at archery, the author provides a detailed contextualisation of this ancient sport's vivid history, and its enduring relevance as a modern recreational pursuit.
