  Modern day archery has evolved as a sport from prehistoric hunting tools and weaponry. Historians think that archery is at least 5,000 years old, and may be much older than that. Pennsylvania Archery Clubs exist for toxophilites, defined as bow lovers, to gather and share their love and knowledge of the sport. Archery clubs plan events and competitions for their members and have ranges, which give the members a place to hone their skills.
