Archery traces its origins back to prehistoric times, making it one of the oldest sports known to humanity. Today, archery competitions encompass various disciplines, including traditional, recurve, compound, and crossbow.

• Traditional Bows: Crafted from materials like yew wood, traditional bows evoke the spirit of ancient archery.
• Recurve Bows: Recognizable by their forward-curving tips, recurve bows are commonly used in Olympic competitions, featuring materials such as laminated wood and fiberglass.
• Compound Bows: Distinguished by their pulleys, compound bows store significant energy while requiring minimal force from the archer.
• Crossbows: Held horizontally with a trigger release mechanism, crossbows offer a unique approach to archery, favored by many enthusiasts.
