Practiced in more than 140 countries, archery made its Olympic debut in 1900. After taking a 64 year hiatus, it once again became an Olympic sport during the Munich games in 1972. Although watching this year’s Olympians make it look so easy, one would have to imagine much training and talent is required for this precision sport.
Shooting at a target 70m away (roughly 230 feet), each Olympian needs to be strong and steady. And while they rely on their arrows to flow flawlessly towards the center of the target, their bows need to be finely constructed and tested.
Using Hoyt Archery bows, constructed of carbon fiber structures and tested in bend and compression, Team Hoyt made its way into the Olympic Games using the lightweight bows that reduce vibration and sound to extremely low levels. The team’s consistent success is a testament to talented shooters and reliable equipment.
