Tell about Archery ?

The earliest form of archery was undoubtedly the use of a simple one-piece traditional bow to hunt for food,

a skill still practiced to this day by bow hunters and bow fishers. Evidence of the practise of archery has been found throughout the world but the who was first to create the bow and arrow isn't crystal clear.

as the bronze age arrived (3,300 BC) this changed the makeup of the arrow to bronze which could be sharpened and shaped more easily.

​In 1,200 BC the dawn of the Iron age allowed arrowheads made from Iron, which is harder than bronze and allows for armor penetration and a more deadlier shot.

​Archery was used for hunting food throughout history but by many classical civilizations in war, the Assyrian, Greek, Armenian, Persian, Parthians, Indian,
