Evolution of Archery

The longbow emerged as a dominant weapon during the Middle Ages in England, thanks to its power and accuracy, but eventually lost ground to firearms due to their ease of use and reliability. Despite the decline of bows in warfare, archery found a new life as a sport, making its Olympic debut in 1900. Advances in materials like fiberglass and aluminum revolutionized bow and arrow technology, enhancing durability and performance for modern archers.
