People who shoot arrows using a bow as a weapon or sport.
From Old French 'archer' (one who bends a bow), derived from Latin 'arcus' meaning 'bow.' The word evolved as archery became both a military skill and recreational activity throughout medieval Europe.
Medieval archers were so important in warfare that some countries required all able-bodied men to practice archery regularly—England even had laws forcing people to train with bows on Sundays! Today, archery combines ancient technique with modern precision equipment.
