Medieval Archery was pretty simple, there was a target, made of wood or sometimes it was just a mark o a tree. The bow was carved from wood and the string was generally made from twine. the arrows were carved from wood or a extremely straight stick, the end generally had some sort of birds feathers.
Hope this helps
