A love letter enriched with stories and anecdotes from the Stone Age to the present day. Who doesn't remember their childhood days when we played as Kiowa Indians or Apaches, running through meadows with bows and arrows, shooting wooden arrows into the air? Archery carries an ancient history and is experiencing a gentle yet steady boom as a modern sport. Günter Kuhr tells 111 stories about this aesthetic sport with its diverse disciplines, ranging from Japanese archery, horseback archery, and running with bows to traditional archery and Olympic and Paralympic sports. The book takes readers to the archery range and reveals the secrets of the bowstring's hum, the flying arrows, the mental games, and the stars of the sport. One reason: Because it awakens the child in us!.
