21 June 2004 - Welcome to the 2004 FITA Website

Welcome to the 2004 FITA Website

 

This new, easier to use FITA Homepage contains much of FITA’s vital information – from history of shooting, to rules of shooting, to statistics and more.

 

You can also find current views of our 132 Member Associations and information about future World Championships.

 

The earliest recorded images of archers are on cave walls in Spain and are estimated to be 50,000 years old.  Stone and obsidian arrowheads from around the world confirm an even earlier origin of archery.

 

Today, archery equipment is made from the most advanced engineering materials – a wonderful mix of a historic sport and modern technology.

 

I hope you enjoy traveling through the FITA website and that you will find the information you need to satisfy and stimulate your interest in this most versatile, elegant and historic, yet modern sport.

 

Sincerely,

Jim Easton

President of FITA
