The word Archery comes from Latin, where "arc" means to curve (You should have learned this in elementary school...). The "arc" comes from the shape that the archer contorts the bow into in order to build up potential energy to propel the arrow forward.
To further, prove this...
In Spanish, the infinitive for "to do archery" is "tirar con arco". "Tirar" means to shoot and "arco" means arc.
Cool, huh?
Archery is a sport in which a person uses a bow and arrow to hit a target. It is not known where archery originated, but it is known that it was used in combat and hunting originally. It probably became a sport around the 1300's.
it was used all over the world for hunting but Robin Hood used his bow when he went off to the "holy war" also known as the crusaides.
