Archery is a sport where athletes use a bow to shoot arrows at a target, aiming for precision and accuracy. The target consists of concentric rings, with the center (bullseye) scoring the highest points (typically 10). Archery requires focus, physical control, mental discipline, and consistent technique. It can be practiced indoors or outdoors, with varying distances (e.g., 18 meters indoors, 70 meters for Olympic outdoor events).
The sport has historical roots in hunting and warfare but has evolved into a modern competitive discipline, emphasizing skill over strength. It is accessible to a wide range of ages and physical abilities, as it relies more on technique than raw power.
