The art of archery had been observed through many generations now. Bows and arrows are primarily used for hunting in the woods by our ancestors. Nowadays, archery has evolved in many forms and had been famous throughout the world. Here are some of the most well-known faces, may they be real or fictional, which counted even more with the fame of archery.
Of course, who among us doesn't know about Robin Hood of the Nottinghamshire? He is an English folklore who had been a favorite subject in many movies, comics, books and plays, being the hero for the less fortunate by stealing from the rich and giving them to the poor.
In literature, Robin Hood uses a longbow and can shoot a target from hundreds of yards away. He is so accurate that he is also famous for splitting an arrow with another arrow. Other than being a champion archer, Robin Hood is also good with swords and staffs.
Another character is Green Arrow or Oliver Jonas Queen. Just like Robin Hood, Green Arrow is a fictional character from the DC comics and had first appeared in 1941. Behind a good archer, is a secret identity of being a former mayor and a billionaire who lives in Star City.
Green arrow is proficient with different types of bow. He uses recurve, compound and his favorite longbow. He also has a crossbow which he usually uses for short range combats. Since he is also a very rich man, he also has an access to a lot of hi-tech gadgets.
Next is Mr. Howard Hill. But unlike Robin Hood and Green Arrow, Hill is a real guy and a toxophilite- or someone who's really remarkably skilled in archery.
Hill is an expert with any type of bows like Oliver Queen. And yes, he was also successful in doing the Robin Hood shot although some says that the arrow's shaft is made of bamboo. Howard's archery skill excelled in all branches whether its target, field and the most difficult flight. A very skilled shooter that can hit objects tossed up in air, of course with his bow and arrow.
These guys have really made their names big in the world of archery. And may they be real or make-believe, surely archery itself, will be continuously a significant and interesting practice and art to many of us all over the globe. - 16887
