Archery. Just in case you were referring to a rather new sport using bow an arrows, I have included this site, (excerpt): The Padded Arrow Sport The Padded Arrow Sport is an activity practiced by a small but growing subculture for a period of over 50 years. It has developed into an organized sport for some while it is a form of live action combat with an unclear system for others. Live Action War Games are made up of individuals or groups of fifty to a hundred people that are dressed in authentic combat armor and use padded sports weapons all in the attempt to simulate battlefields. Although most war games use guns, some systems allow the use of real bows and arrows. These are however regulated by limiting the bow draw weight from twenty to forty-five pounds and by using blunt, coin-tipped arrows whose heads are wrapped and secured in an open-cell foam padding. These are called 'safety arrows'. Unlike the traditional bow techniques, the use of 'safety arrows' or the 'foam archers' have to deal with releasing weighted arrows resulting in a more awkward projectile with a maximum effective range of only about fifty or sixty feet. The players in the Padded-arrow sport should always remember that even though they are padded, actual bows and arrows are still used. With this, precautions should be taken like frequent equipment checks. In addition to the clumsiness of the bow and the padded arrows, archers need to keep moving around to stay clear of the hundreds of other opponents. This makes the sport even more challenging and appealing. In the battlefield, players are up against people who are charging against them, hiding and using tactics to bring a person or a team down. Because of this, archers have to master the skill in aiming, proper positioning and calculating range, distance and projectile in order to make an effective hit while running from the enemy. Each player must learn strategy and tactics as well to avoid being attacked or removed from the game due to and injury point system or an actual physical injury. * http://ezinearticles.com/?Compound-Bow-and-the-Padded-Arrow-Sport&id=218092
The game is called Archery Tag. It utilizes custom-engineered foam tips, making it safe and fun for players of all ages.
People often ask if it hurts & what kind of limbs are used. The answers to these questions depend on who is asking. According to some opinions, it does not hurt, but others express that they do feel a sting upon impact. The limbs used in play typically range from 30lb to 40lb, and you MUST use an official Archery Tag recurve bow. Absolutely no compound bows.
I'm sure the bow and arrow is called something else in every other language. But sticking strictly with English, I'd say about your only other choice would be archery equipment.

Why does your arrow kick sideways when you shoot your recurve bow?
You could be plucking the bow string, make sure to shoot with your finger tips only, remain still (arms, body and head)and release the string off the tips. Your arrow rest could be protruding to much, causing the arrow to richochet off it. Your arrow could be to thin for the poundage of the bow, causing it to warp on release. Make sure that you 'nock' the arrow properly. Your arrow might not be the right spline weight for your bow.
