I don't know about now but historically it was used for fighting and hunting.
yes and historically it has been used for hunting and combat
I am thinking of picking up archery. Oh, that's where a bow is used to move an arrow right? It is. Are there different types of archery bows? I'm not sure about different types but there is the composite bow, its a traditional one crafted from horn, sinew, and wood laminated together. Oh I see Would you happen to know how long ago Archery dates back to? The oldest signs of its use in Europe comes from the north of Hamburg, Germany and dates back about 10,000-9,000 BC. That is an incredibly long time ago. Do people compete in archery against each other for sport? Yes, it's mainly a competitive sport and recreational activity. It looks relaxing but Im sure it is very hard to master? Do people still use archery to hunt?
