Archery

Archery is the sport, practice, or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows.^[1] The word comes from the Latin arcus, meaning bow.^[2] Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat. In modern times, it is mainly a competitive sport and recreational activity. A person who practices archery is typically called an archer, bowman, or toxophilite.^[3]
