Why is archery called archery?
The bow has had a HUGE impact on human history, from war to hunting. So it's preserving a very important and old tradition. It does require strength as well. A bow's power is told by how hard it is to pull the string back, it's called the draw weight and is given in pounds. For example, a bow with a 45 pound draw weight, an average weight, would be just as hard to pull back as lifting something weighing 45 pounds. You have to hold that with your fingers all the while your arms are shaking because that's what happens when you strain your muscles. Then you have to release all fingers exactly the same time and hope the wind doesn't kick up!
When did archery become an Olympic sport?
Archery was a sport all the way back in medieval times, and perhaps all the back in ancient times. People trained in various ways and especially in Medieval England, laws were passed to make archery practice mandatory, so people made sports and competitive events to turn the frustrating law into something fun, there are many examples of sport types that involved archery such as: - Standard archery rounds such as Portsmouth rounds (like you'd see on a Robin Hood movie or something similar) - Clout shooting (shoot as close as possible to a flag off in the distance) - Coconut shy equivalent (shooting at various small objects which simulate French heads!) - William Tell challenge (one unfortunate soul has an apple shot off of his head!) - Splitting the wand (a broomstick size pole in the ground has to be shot at and split, this is harder than it sounds) - Flight shooting (shoot as far as possible, simple as that) - Hunting challenges (this one is more of a guess, but it is quite easy to imagine happening) ... And a few more I cannot remember. The point is, archery has been a sport for a very long time, and I didn't even mention before that the Greeks probably had archery as an Olympic event, since they invented it, and archery usage was common practice back then as well. (NOTE: I am a real archer and I am an expert on the subject)
What is the anchor in archery?
When you draw back the bow you anchor your fingers that are holding the string and arrow to your cheek or corner of your lip. So the anchor would be a part of your face, usually the corner of lip.
