A LITTLE HISTORY
Archery most certainly dates back to the Stone Age, i.e. 20,000 years before Christ.. The Egyptians were the first to use the bow for food and war.
Many mythological and legendary characters have marked the history of archery, starting with Apollo, God of ArchersCupid, God of Love, through Artemis, Goddess of the hunt or Ulysses and Hercules.
During the medieval wars, a legend tells that the sign V of Victory, was initially a form of provocation of the English towards the French. Indeed, the archers English had their 2 fingers cut off, the index and middle fingers, by the French when they were captured. Thus, the English continued to show that they still had their 2 fingers.
