ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Target archery, as practiced in the western world, has a more varied ancestry than any other sport, and its history can be traced from its origins in the early middle ages up to its inclusion in the 1972 Olympic Games held at Munich. In addition to tracing its varied and interesting history from its origins to the present day, this book presents the results of new research into the part played by archery in the changing social and economic patterns on both sides of the Atlantic, showing especially how the growth of organised competition has formed many important links in the progress of an increasingly popular sport.(Publisher).
