Bow

Archery is a sport whose main tools are bow and arrows. The bow is used to shoot arrows at targets: both stationary and moving, depending on the type of shooting.

When and where the first bow appeared, scientists have not yet agreed. It has been claimed that it was invented in the Stone Age, later spread around the world as a hunting and combat weapon. Only the emergence of a gun firearm has begun to change the bow as a counter measure. But for a long time, the bow in good, experienced hands was more dangerous than the rifle. Over time, archery survived as a sport, a hunt, and leisure.

The history of sports archery starts in 1900, when this sport was included in the Summer Olympics program. It is a precision sport, known and cultivated worldwide. Its modernity is reflected in both the inventory itself and the various tools used in the training and competition process. Archery educates and develops a variety of physical and psychological features:

• Helps to concentrate and increase psychological stability. Concentration, management of your thoughts and body are essential elements of archery;
• Strengthens the back muscles and the entire upper body and supports the overall physical form. Regularly repeating movements, i.e. lifting and stretching the arc, strengthens the arms and shoulder strap, and tensioning the bow into the work involves a large part of the back muscles. Archers are, of course, still walking a lot: they go about 6-10 kilometers in the usual archery competition;
• Learn to overcome stressful situations. Archery is very important to stay calm and perform actions under pressure from the country. By properly educating this feature, it will also be useful in everyday life.
