In 1958, the first archery competition took place in Moscow. Since 1965, Moscow archers have gone from beginners to recognized leaders in the international arena.

and on Olympic Games in 1972, won the bronze Olympic medal. The improvement of the shooting technique was accompanied by the struggle of the views of the coaches in the choice of this or that technique, shooting techniques. The creation of the system made it possible for Soviet athletes to be leaders and winners at world championships for a long time. The organizers and founders of the Moscow school were enthusiastic trainers who later became professionals: M.N. Zaitsev, R.M. Voronkov, S.F. Lobkov, V.I. Polukhin, Sergei Kondratiev and Tatiana. Later: Anisimov L.M., Shilin Yu.N. and others. The eighties in the development of archery showed that Moscow archers came to the fore among Russian athletes: E. V. Gapchenko - USSR and world record holder in archery, absolute world champion in archery in 1971, four-time world champion, bronze medalist of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich (her medal was the first Olympic medal Soviet archers). Multiple Moscow shooting champion
from a bow, was a member of the Armed Forces team (Dynamo). Sports achievements of Emma Gapchenko left a bright mark in the annals of victories in Moscow and Soviet sports. She was a ten-time champion of Moscow (1967-1975 and 1978). A. Aulov, M. Aulova, V. Chendarov - the pride of Moscow archers of those times.
The restructuring in the politics and economy of the state led to the fact that the system of training athletes was disrupted, sports societies and departments were liquidated, and classes in sports teams ceased. Funds for the development of physical culture and sports have ceased to be allocated. The manufacture of the material part has ceased, and its cost has sharply increased. Competition venues - shooting ranges, shooting ranges, halls - changed owners and began to be used
for other purposes.

Archery - olympic look a sport in which athletes compete in archery accuracy. The winner in archery is the athlete or team that scores the most points according to the competition rules. Archery competitions are held between both men and women.
The history of the emergence and development of archery
It was not possible to establish the exact time of the appearance of the bow, as well as the place of its appearance. It is known that people used bows at the end of the Stone Age and used them for hunting as a weapon. Thanks to onions, people were able to get meat for themselves.
About 3 thousand years ago, the bow began to be used not only for hunting, but also as a weapon. Archers were highly prized as they could hit targets several hundred meters away. Later, bows were replaced by firearms, it was during this period that it began to develop sport shooting from onions.
In 1900, the first official archery competition took place, and this happened at the second Olympic Games. Until 1972, this discipline was considered optional, in some years it was included in the program of the Olympic Games, and in others it was not. Despite the competition being held, there was no organization regulating archery. International Federation archery (FITA) was created only in 1931 in Poland, it later developed the rules for the competition.
In the mid-eighties, dueling duels were introduced, which were supposed to increase the entertainment of the competition. In 1988, team competitions were added to them. Since 2000, the rules of archery have been constantly changing, and every Olympic Games is held with changes in the program.
Archery rules
Archery competitions are held both outdoors and indoors. Shooting in competitions is carried out in series of 3 or 6 arrows. According to FITA standards, a 3-arrow shot is given 2 minutes and a 6-arrow shot 4 minutes.
In all competitions, qualification is first held, and then, among the remaining athletes, according to the Olympic system, the winner is drawn. This system is also relevant for the World and European Championships.
Archery targets FITA approved targets. Archery targets are made of paper with concentric circles of different colors depicted on it. The targets are attached to special shields, which are made of durable material that prevents the arrows from going through. The size of the target depends on the competition distance. Inside the "top ten" there is another circle of half the diameter marked, it is necessary to resolve controversial situations of equality of points and to fix world records.
Archery distances
Indoors, shooting is carried out from a distance of 18, 30 or 50 meters (for men and women).
Outdoors, target distances are 30, 50, 70 and 90 meters for men and 30, 50, 60 and 70 meters for women. In the Olympic Games, archery is only carried out from a distance of 70 meters.
Equipment and equipment
The main piece of equipment, of course, is the bow. In official competitions under the auspices of FITA, two types of professional bows are used in target shooting:
- Shooting with a (traditional) classic bow (recurve bow). The pulling force of such a bow is about 15-20 kg. The arrow's flight speed reaches 240 km / h. This bow is used in the Olympic Games.
- Shooting from compound onion(compound bow). In such bows, a special mechanism is used, which provides the arrow with a more correct acceleration, and also facilitates the process of drawing the bow. Pulling force about 25-30 kg. The flight speed of an arrow from such a bow reaches 320 km / h.
A fully equipped bow usually weighs in the range of three and a half to four and a half kilograms.
Modern sport arrows are composite (tip, shaft, shank, plumage). For archers, adjusting arrows is very important. They must satisfy very many individual qualities, primarily the length of the arms. Arrows are stacked into a special arrow quiver.
A release is a trigger. With its help, the archer grabs the bowstring, and then, in the right moment lets her go. The release minimizes the grip area of the bowstring, which in turn reduces its deformation at full stretch and thereby increases the stability of shooting.
Archery gaiter - bracers that protect the forearm of an archer from a bowstring strike.
