What were the results of the first archery championship
It was three centuries later (1844) that the first championship meetings were held in York, and these events have continued to the present time. Four years later, Horace A. Ford, the greatest archer of his time, made his appearance in the archery world. He commenced where Ascham left off, and was responsible for the development of many of the scientific aspects of the sport.
Today, archery is quite prominent in continental Europe, especially in Belgium and France, and is indulged in more by the common people than by the leisure class. Since their method of shooting and conducting tournaments is so different from ours, it is difficult to compare scores of respective shooting.
