Bow is one of a classic weapons. It works by drawing bow to hit a target from far away. make a half moon shape with a hard wood, hang bowstep made out of animal skin, or tendon, on both sides and drawing it with an arrow will shot the arrow. The very first archer in human history is Paleolithic man, and most of them made arrow head out of flint. They were used for hunt and war, every country developed their shooting forms , and how the bow and the arrow look like by how they live and the environment. Since the 14th century, with the appearance of gun weapons, Archery lost functionality as a weapon, in the middle ages, it became an amusement attraction. It barely became a familiar sport to us in the modern times. In english, ‘Archery’ means shooting arrows, but in Korea, to distinguish Korean classic bow and western bow, we call western bow ‘Yanggung’.

Archery is an act of shooting arrow by drawing bow. It contains a physical momentum energy principle, When we throw an object, the velocity of the object is determined by the momentum energy of the person who therw the object. Archery works the same way. The power of drawing bow will store power on the string, when we release it, the power transfers to the arrow to fly far away. That is why it flies faster much faster than throwing the arrow by hand. the arrow with a high velocity will not be affected by the gravity as much as an arrow with a low velocity, it makes the arrow to be able to stick to the target. More over it, arrow takes a parabolic motion. when we see the end of the arrow, we can see it is lifted up little bit. In other words, it takes a parabolic motion to reach the target.

The arrow not only takes parabolic motion.A phenomenon looks like an arrow is dancing while it is flying is called ‘Archer’s Paradox’, it happens because the string tends to get back to its original position while it is pulled and released. It affects the power to be transferred to the arrow obliquently, and makes the arrow shake while its flying. The sideway of the arrow functions to stabilize the spin of the arrow and makes the arrow to hit the target accurately.

Human beings developed a lot of tools and used them to satisfy their desire. Bow and arrows are one of the most closely developed to the survival and address. real bow and arrows used to be a way of survival in primative age. As a effective weapon in ancient and medieval society, and as a sport modern society archery contributed to human culture in various way archery is a great historical product. But it is unclear how bow and arrows are created. they could be created naturally to satisfy human’s desire or as a tool to hunt animals in primitive ages. The origin of Archery is also unclear. But, the experts are making a view point at the fact that primitive man did not use bow and arrows. By the origin of civilization, the bow is used since Paleolithic ages (about 10 to 30 thousand years ago), some experts insists they are used since 100thousand years ago. But archeologically, trace shows bow appears in paleolithic ages. In other words, the arrow head used in later paleolithic ages is found in South Russia, Spain, and North Africa. this proves a bow is used since later paleolithic ages, ‘Encyclepedia of British’ is presuming the use of bow in mesolithic age from cave paintings in Castellon province in South France and Spain. Guinness Book recently contains the proof of existence of bow in mesolithic ages cave painting, and presuming it must be used as a living tool in later paleolithic and mesolithic ages. People are hunting animals using bows on the cave painting which was drawn in 15 thousand years ago from now(B.C. 13,000), Paleolithic ages The oldest bow that still exists until now is found in Mannheim, Germany. Only 40cm of the bow is still remaining, exerts presumes the bow used to be 110cm, a recurved shape, and it was made 12thousand years ago. Also, some paintings hunting animals using bow are recently found in South Samarkand Termerz and Pamir Mountain. more over it, the found of a arrow head that was made 20thousand years ago makes the origin of archery goes back then

Archery was usually used as a weapon. During the war, archery was a ranged weapon hitting the enemies from far distance. The appearance of archery is paleolithic ages. Archery was used as a hunting tool and as a main weapon before gun like weapons in primitive society. Now a day, in modern age, archery is well known as a mind training sport. It must be bow the best rated ranged weapon. While the best melee weapon before modernization is spear, the best ranged weapon is bow. Any ethnic groups or civilizations in the world’s advanced ranged weapon is far and away, bow. Nations that tend to be heavy armament like Europe and China started to use an upgraded version of bow, ‘Catapult’. Catapult has its own pros and cons compare to bow, but then it could not replace bow completely. Since catapult follows almost the same mechanism as bow, catapult is something that is on extension line of bow. Blow gun in primitive ages could not even reach half of bow at penetration, and range, and throwing spear (Javelin) has a better penetration than archery but, it has low range. Sling is very effective on the armor, and it ranged as much as archery, but it was unable to form a dense formation using sling, and it was very hard to acquire skills. Boomerang in Australia, in fact, is a result of a devolve due to lack of wood to make bow and arrows. There were many lack of usage and utilization. Slingshot appeared after the development of rubber, it was unable to compare to bow. bow is a projectile weapon that conquered the world. Bow is an excellent weapon in all sides. But after the development of gunpowder, archery’s position is threatened. In Europe that used catapult more than bow, Gun like weapons spread quickly. Bow once used to be able to compete to gun with it’s range and rate of fire. But due to gun’s constant development and practical use, Bow loses its position of powerful military weapon.

Discovery of fire or language was a groundbreaking turning point of human beings. Discovery of bow and arrows are the same. specially as a hunting tool the power of archery made private hunting available, and not only became a base for human’s settled life but also exerted a various functions. Discovery of metal in bronze ages increased the intensity. After the development of metal, more than conventional hunting usage, they were used as a tool for settled life. Bow became a combat weapon performing power on during the war, as territorial extension, and fight of ethnic groups happens. It functioned Primitive society to build up the ancient countries specially the functions of bow were very important against the battle at mountain zone and high cattle. Bow and arrows functioned as a combat weapon as human beings move on to ancient society from primitive society, and it was absolute weapon used to conquest war until the early middle ages.

The function of the bow has been weakened and lost due to the gun weapons, and it has come to a new change. It continued being together with human beings by being a tool of the civilian’s private hunting or popular game, By middle ages, it became a amusing sport, in the later middle age, it became a popular sport. It settled as a modern sport.

- Changes in Bow Culture

When the function of the bow was lost in the war, the bow was taken over as a personal hunting activity and as one of the spreading play means. In particular, it continued till the end of the Middle Ages sports enjoyed by the masses, which became an entertaining sports centering on medieval aristocrats, and this became the background that became established in the field of modern sports. The bows and arrows spontaneously born and used in the primitive society have been transformed and developed according to the characteristics between each ethnic group and region in the whole world. According to the climate and the living environment, a bow with unique features is developed, and the appearance and usage of the bow are displayed diversely. Looking at the kinds of judicial judgments of the countries of the world typified by the anthropologist "ESMorse" of the United States, first of all, the pinch style used by the indigenous people of the area on the whole continent (Pinch Style - ), The Mediterranean style mainly used in Europe and the Mediterranean region (Mediterranean Style - a method of pulling with fingers using cognition and stoppage) and the Mongolian style mainly used by Mongolian ethnic groups (Mongolian Style - thumb And a method of pulling only the thumb). Archery, which has been called Archery since then, has been developed by the International Archery Federation (FITA, present. WA). It is difficult to estimate the first time the archery was performed as a sport. However, the country that I went first in archery sports is known in England. Indeed, the UK has been done with a long history of archery compared to other sports, but "Archery tournament" is exactly that. Arriving in England at the age of Henry VII (1538) Archery was held several times as entertainment games, active in sports into all Europe, and since 1673, except in the period of two wars, in the UK Yorkshire region, The annual archery tournament was held and the name of the winner was recorded, which boosts this. Therefore, some scholars have taken UK as an example at sports archery origin. However, the time when archery was held as sports can be said to have been done in many countries including the European region. After that, the archery according to the historical and regional characteristics of each country began to settle in sports that can develop to various competition methods and can be shared between the country and the country, so that it can be chilocil in international competition. The first time the archery competition was held was the 2 nd Paris Olympic Games held in France in 1900.

It was introduced in Korea in earnest. In particular, the < 6th National Archery Competition > was the first official archery event in Korea, and at that time the United Nations Army General Commander "Howes' Captain" and other foreign diplomatic missions participated. Korea was officially joined the International Archery Federation (FITA) in 1963 and announced the opening of the official Korean archery of the international sports world. In 1966, an archery workshop was held for the first time in Korea, and a national male and female archery type championship tournament was created. In the 1970s Korean archery was developed greatly. At that time, the tensions between the countries surrounding the Korean peninsula led to the strengthening of security and physical education. Male students encouraged taekwondo, female students encouraged archery, and spreading archery as well as spreading of the base greatly affected. In 1974 it was the first one. A work goodwill archery competition was held and archery was adopted as an official event in the 3rd National Juvenile Sports Games meeting. Especially athletes were excavated early to adopt formal event of archery 's boys' sports education, and excellent national team players were produced. Archery was adopted as an official event as the international convention at the 8th Bangkok Asian Games in 1978.

The 1979 World Championship was a great accomplishment that not only Korea Archery, but also the first record match in the history of sports in Korea was accomplished. In 1983 he separated the archery of the Archery Association and formed the first archery regular team. The Archery Association is actively investing in expanding the base of archery and excavating talented people, developing advanced equipment, promoting sports science for the first time in physical education organizations and enhancing the competitiveness of players We prepared a systematic foundation for conversion. Also, in order to improve the qualitative level of archery, we checked the quality of the equipment, not only made it equipped with the world's highest level equipment but also encouraged the development of quality, and made a chance to archery people from all over the world like Korean equipment. The Archery Association held the 33rd World Archery Championships in Seoul in 1985, served as President of the Asia Archery Federation in 1986, Vice Chairman of the World Archery Federation in 1993, and founded the foundation for internationalization of Korean archery.

With such efforts, the Spanish Madrid World Championships all season sweepstakes, the Doha Asian Games all season sweep, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Girls' Association 6 consecutive championships, and male group 3 consecutive championships. Even at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, we continued to achieve a 2 consecutive all-season sweep. Iin the case of archery in sports competition, the Korean national team is stands out. Korean always swept the three medals of gold, silver, and copper, the rules themselves changed and the players in the country who made it to the finals had changed so that three or more people could not advance. That is why the Korean national team was amazing. Korean often broke the lens of the camera (aka Bullseye) installed in the middle of the target at a distance of 30M. Easily gained full marks for each game, the morale of the players in other countries was demoralized. Finally, the 30 M shooting was abolished. In this way, the changed history of the Olympic Archery Racing Rules can be explained as a history to prevent Korea's medal monopoly. Ironically, the country that most adapts to the changed rules is Korea.
