I couldn't say. These days archery is mainly a leisure activity or a sport.
it means archer I think. today  it is mainly a competitive sport and recreational activity.
I have become interested in archery!  I am not very good, but am trying to learn more about the sport! Oh, that's nice. So you are using a bow to shoot arrows, then? Yeah, I am trying to approach it cautiously.  When was archery created? It's beyond me, but "archery" comes from the Latin word "arcus". Interesting!  What does arcus mean exactly?
In modern times, it is mainly a competitive sport and recreational activity.
