Abstract

Archery originated as a means of survival where hunting prey for the purpose of food, but in the nineteenth century, the industrial revolution made the search for food unnecessary for many people, so archery developed as a sport, especially in English-speaking countries such as England and the United States, as well as Ireland and South Africa. Formed in 1871, the National Rifle Association in the United States of America, which is credited with developing shooting as a form of organized sport in the United States. Rifle and pistol shooting, a sport that was born, when man discovered explosive gunpowder and weapons, was practiced by man to acquire skill in aiming and used for defense or Attack and hunt.

However, this sport has grown and flourished during the current era and entered many local, regional and international tournaments and has multiple championships and various competitions in which patience, accuracy and strength of nerves are tested.
