Archery
How do they shoot?
At the Olympics we saw archery for the first time in 1900 (then 6 parts big). They use the continental manner, each marksman shoot one arrow (if you use the British manner you shoot three arrows per time).
American party
In 1904 there was again a discussion about something, was it right or not. In 1904 all participants were Americans, so some people thought that it may not named as a part of the Olympics.
Where are they?
If you was waiting for archery in 1912, you could wait long, because in 1912 archery wasn't a part of the Olympics. But at the next Olympics, in 1920 (in connection with the first World War in 1916), there was an enormous interest for archery, so there were 10 parts of archery. Indeed only the Belgium manner, and many countries don't like that way of shooting, so the only participating countries were France, the Netherlands and Belgium. After that, archery was struck out of the list of Olympic sports.
Arrow here, arrow there
In 1972 re-entered archery the Olympics. But with other parts. The men had to shoot with 144 arrows, at distances of 90m, 70m, 50m and 30m (per part 36 arrows). Woman had to shoot the same numbers at 70m, 60m, 50m and 30m. Since 1988 there are competitions for teams for a title (and the gold medal).
