Archery is the sport, art, craft, or skill of employing a fixed archery bow to shoot multiple arrows with a very high level of accuracy. The term archery originates from the Latin arcanus for bow. Historically, archery was used for war and hunting. History demonstrates that the usage of archery dates back to the Bronze Age, more especially to the Celts. In ancient Greek, archery was seen as a sport rather than a weapon. A few of the archers in the Greek city-states could exceed the 1st century BCE in archery. In Rome, the arena was also built with arrows as a necessary item of defence, although the use of bows was allowed in the plebeian warlord's arena. With the coming of a time of supremacy of the Romans, archery became a popular pastime. During this time, most men were hunters, so archery became associated not only with hunting but additionally with being masculine. In Greek, archery was also associated with war and battle. Roman archers were equipped with both long and short arrows and wore helmets with feathers or helms in it. There are many types of archery: longbow, recurve bow, flat bow, crossbow, and longbow having an arrow rest. Each type of archery has its own benefits and drawbacks, so much so that some types of archery have been phased out by modernity while others have already been incorporated into modern weaponry. As stated before, the main reason for an arrow would be to penetrate the prospective, which requires strong archery material. Aside from its material strength, an arrow must have the right arrow rest, which has a direct effect on the force sent to the target. The archery range, which is usually longer than the length of an arrow, is between eight and ten metres; in field archery, it's between seven and ten metres long. Longbowmen usually use short arrows of carbon fibre, with other styles of arrow materials used by the longerbowmen. A short bow can shoot the same distance as a longbow, though it's shorter overall, with a greater handling grip, and is less cumbersome and nimble. A recurve bow, generally known as a longbow, is usually longer than the longbow, weighing in at around eighty to 1 hundred kilograms. The weight of the archery equipment mainly depends upon its usage: for example, in field archery, the longer bows are often used in combination with heavier bows, whereas the shorter ones are employed with shorter weapons, just like the shortbow. Recurve bows have a maximum draw weight of eight kilometres, which makes them ideal for use against small game and animals.
