Archery is a sport or practice of using a bow to shoot arrows. Throughout history archery was used for many purposes including hunting and combat. It now has mainly become a sport of precision. Some history on archery is that it was said to have begun around 15,000 years ago, but the earliest that proven evidence was reported on archery was between 8,000 and 9,000 years ago. The bow is said to have originally come from the use of hunting animals, and then it became a very useful tool in combat and warfare. It became the dominant means of shooting projectiles after replacing the "atlatl".
No matter how powerful the compound bow you've bought is, it is the arrow that will make the difference. Even though you may have bought a bow with an advertised IBO speed of more than 300 fps, there is no way it will shoot at that speed if you use a heavy fiberglass arrow. That being said, different arrows are made for different circumstances and you will have a need for each at some point or another.

These dangerous weapons are known for their role in Asian and European warfare. Today however, crossbows are mainly used for target shooting and sport hunting.
