Archie was initially a technology used in hunting or for protection from wild animals. Anything that put you at a greater distance from big critters that would object to you stabbing them with flint knife or jabbing a spear in them (an perhaps mashing you into the dirt) was seen as a good idea.Later people noted that killing an animal at a safe distance was much much the same as killing an enemy (or the men in village with prettier girls) at a safe distance. This developed a second application of Archery as a weapon of war or murder.

As time passed the skill required for archery was admired and the competitive sport of archery became a substitute for warfare.

The main uses for archery when it was first developed are pretty much the same today: for hunting, competitive sports, and as a recreational activity

Archery was a way to hunt for the ancient tribes, such as Native Americans. It was also a competition sport, and archers were an army essential before guns were invented.

They use it as a sport, for hunting, or as a weapon. It's mostly a sport, but can occasionally be found for hunting. It is most likely banned as a weapon. (see Suzanne Collins Hunger Games).
