THE REFLECTOR 26

It is believed that apart from Fireand wheel the basic equipment 0fArchery, Arrow and Bow are per-

haps the third invention of mankind.From the study of its past history itcan be rightly claimed as the oldsport which is still practiced. Bowmaking and practice of archery wasfamiliar to Egyptian Indian, Chinese,and Ottoman civilization around1800 B.C. Archery is also rooted indifferent mythologies and religiousfaiths. As a sports archery began itsjourney 400 years ago. The fistEnglish archery tournament was holdat Finsbury which was attended byabout 300 archers. Archery wasincluded for the first time in the ParisOlympiad in 1900 for men. The 2004Athens Olympiad celebrated the cen-tenary of women's participation inthe Olympic Games. The fist interna-tional archery tournament was held in

1931. In the same year FederationInternational de Tir a Are (FITA) Iinternational archery Federation wasformed in low, Poland. FITA frameduniform and standardized competi-tion rules based on which the firstworld Archery championship washeld in 1972. The founding membersof this newly formed internationalgoverning body of archery wereBelgium, Poland, France andSweden. The newly formulated rulestook some fundamental aspects intoconsideration viz, evolution of easyand accurate method of shootingdevelopment of efficient bows andarrow and so on. Under the new rulesworld championship is staged bian-nually. The popularity of this oldestof the sports is progressively increas-ing. Now as many as 151 countriesare affiliated with the world govern-ing body FITA. Eight events are con-

tested inn the world Championship.Archery is of very recent origin inBangladesh. It had been in practiceby the aboriginal and tribal peoplefrom time immemorial.
