Archery, as a sport, first prevailed in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties in China more than 3,000 years ago. According to historical records, the competition ceremony at that time was quite grand.

At the beginning of this century, archery began in Paris Olympic Games. However, after the athletes participated in three Olympic Games (1904, 1908, 1920), the Olympic Games cancelled the competition of this event until 1972.

At present, men's archery events include four-distance competitions of 90 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters and 30 meters. Women's events include 70m, 60m, 50m and 30m.

In addition to traditional archery competitions, there are informal shooting distance competitions. In order to make the arrow fly far, you need to use a huge bow, which weighs 50 kilograms and has a range of 2500 meters.
