  • Archery Archery Is Termed As a Practice-Sport, Which Means That It Is More of a Practice- Oriented Skill of Using Bow and Arrow
    COMPILED BY : GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Archery Archery is termed as a practice-sport, which means that it is more of a practice- oriented skill of using bow and arrow. Propelling an arrow with force through the air has only recently been considered a sport but it was always a very important hunting practise in olden days. Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat purposes. But in modern times, archery had become a recreational and competitive sport. A person who indulges in archery is known as an archer or a bowman. An expert in archery is known as toxophilite. Archery involves using a bow to shoot arrows at a stationary target. There are ten concentric circles that represent different tracts on the circular disk used as the target. The scores are dependent on the area of the circle where the arrow hits. The objective is to shoot the target with an arrow. The bow string will be stretched after placing the back-end of the arrow for initialising an input force which throws it towards the target. THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Team Size Generally, the game is played alone where individuals practice shooting the target or the concentric circles. However, as per the interest of the event-conducting company, the levels and types are decided and finalized. A team of 5-10 members can be formed, where they will together try to out-score the other teams by making points. The arrows contain a soft material at its tip to avoid causing any injuries to the players.
