rchery
dates back
thousands of
years, with no firm
historical account
of the practice’s
beginnings. Primitive
composite bows, like
those developed by
Egyptians in the early
20th centuries BC,

to today’s
improvements.

Although in 5,000-years’
time, guns have largely
replaced the historic weapon
on the battlefield, enthusiasts
have kept archery alive
in sport. One program
maintaining the practice’s
vitality is just 8 miles west of
Weatherford. At Brock ISD,
students grades 4-12 don’t go a
day without practice, spending
class time, mornings and
afternoons, honing the ancient
skill.
