ARCHERY

Archery, or the use of bow and arrows, was developed by the end of the Upper Paleolithic. Archery has been an important military and hunting skill for over 10,000 years and figures prominently in the mythologies of many cultures.Archers, whether on foot, in chariots or on mounted archery were a major part of most militaries until gradually being replaced by firearms. Gunpowder, which was first introduced by Chinese empires in 9th century AD, was used to enhance projectile weapons including arrows. Firearms defused throughout Eurasia by the militaries of gunpowder empires, which greatly reduced the importance of archery in warfare. Starting in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, militaries entirely replaced archers with riflemen and fielded them into regiments. Nonetheless, archery is still practiced today, including in the training regime of certain special forces
