The bow and arrow was used for hunting animals and for war,
before the gun was even created. Archers were the least paid
solders in battle because making and learning to use bow and arrow
were easier than many other battle weapons they used. After that
crossbows became popular because they were easier to learn how to
fight with. Guns got better than arrows so Archers decided to make
it fun so they made it an Olympic sport. History
