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)
