Created by Global Gear, this Archery Infographic offers a brief look at how archery has evolved though the ages. From a tool for survival to a weapon of war to a worldwide sporting phenomena. Although it is clearly not all-inclusive (nor does it claim to be), the infographic focuses on the development of archery into a formal sport activity.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that there is evidence of archery well before 3500 BC, which substantially predates the Egyptian empire. In fact, a recent study <\/a>suggests that the bow and arrow might date back as much as 71,000 years. We know for certain that archery dates back to at least the mesolithic period (roughly 5,000-10,000 BC) because there are still Holmegaard bows (made of elm) in existence today, which have been dated to  9,000 BC.<\/p>\n

But don’t let that keep you from enjoying the rest of the infographic.<\/p>\n
