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

Medieval archery was used for hunting for food and defending the house or castle. It is basically the same as the sport of archery that is around today, you shoot arrows at a target with a bow.

Archery - the use of the bow and arrow - predates the Middle Ages by several millenia.

Beautifully formed arrowheads of flint and chert have been found all over the world dating to at least 6,000 ago, and possibly well before that.
