Archery is the art, practice, or skill of propelling arrows with the use of a bow. Archery has historically been used for hunting and combat. In modern times, however, its main use is that of a recreational activity, despite the apparent danger and the strict prohibitions against recreational archery set forth in the Bible. One who is relatively skilled in archery is typically known as an "archer" or "bowman," while an expert is sometimes called a "toxophilite." A beginning archer is known as "dangerous."

The bow is first mentioned in Genesis chapter 21, during the exile of Ishmael from the kingdom of Israel. The Bible states that Hagar went a bowshot away from Ishmael so he wouldn't hear her crying. This is a testament to the skill and strength of archers during Abraham's time. Even the greatest archers of today can hear the sobbing where their shot lands whenever they fail their William Tell act. Perhaps one day, when man finds his way back to God, we will be able to relive these miracles. (Full article...)
