Archery is a precision sport in which competitors shoot arrows at a target from a fixed distance, scored by how close each shot lands to the center of a set of concentric rings. It has been part of the modern Summer Olympics since 1900, with the current recurve-bow format standardized in the 1970s, while a separate compound-bow discipline is contested at other major championships. The sport traces its competitive roots to ancient hunting and military archery traditions practiced across many cultures.
