Check out our archery exhibit! From Cupid to Katniss: Archery in Popular Culture shows the range (get it? like an archery range?) of material we have about archery in the United States. If you'd like to learn more about what's featured here, click on the read more below!

The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL) would like to thank the Wood County Park District (WCPD) for lending us a compound bow and set of arrows. WCPD offers both a range for archers to use with their own equipment and archery lessons with equipment provided. For more information, please visit wcparks.org. 

The BPCL would also like to thank graduate student supervisor John King for lending us his bow and arrows for this exhibit. 

The Browne Popular Culture Library, founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.

Introduction 

Archery has been an important part of many cultures around the world for over 70,000 years, dominating hunting and warfare as the main long-range weapon until firearms became more effective and popular in the 1500s. Archery as a recreational sport emerged in the 1800s in Great Britain and has since spread around the world. Today, archery is practiced in a variety of forms, including competitive and traditional methods, as well as bow hunting. 

Because archery has played such an influential role in various cultures, there are many famous archers in folklore, mythology, and popular culture. In the 2010s in the United States, several highly successful movies brought a new wave of popularity to the sport, especially among girls and young women. This exhibit displays only a few of the hundreds of examples of archery in American popular culture. 

Different Kinds of Bows 

Although there are many different styles of bows around the world, there are three main kinds seen in American popular culture. 

Recurve 

A recurve bow is what many of the archers in this exhibit use – such as Princess Merida, Katniss Everdeen during the Games, and Kate Bishop – and is the only kind of bow allowed in Olympic archery. The ends of the bow curve away from the archer and are able to store more energy than a traditional longbow at shorter lengths, making them ideal for a wide variety of people. Recurve bows can be made in one long piece, or in three pieces that come apart for easy transportation.  

Compound 

Compound bows use a system of cables and pulleys to help the archer draw their arrow and store the maximum amount of energy without requiring the archer to hold extreme weight before shooting their arrow. Compound bows are very new compared to recurve bows, as they were only invented in the 1960s. They are very popular among both competition archers and hunters for their increased precision and energy storage. 

Longbows 

Longbows are one of the oldest kinds of bows in archery history, with examples dating to around 3300 BCE. When strung, they make a D shape and do not curve. Medieval England made heavy use of the longbow in wartime to the point where most common men were required to train with the longbow in case war was declared against a neighboring kingdom. Longbows require more brute strength to use than either recurve or compound bows, and frequent use of the longbow leaves noticeable changes in an archer’s skeleton.  

Featured Material

Carolyn Griffith, Frank Gandy, Larry Wise, and Jim Brown, Bear Archery Catalog (1986) 

Bear Archery was founded in 1933 by Fred Bear, who wanted to encourage archery as a sport and method of hunting. This 1986 issue of their catalog highlights prize-winning archers who use Bear Archery products. On the right is Jim Brown, the first Black archer to win specific national and international championship titles, despite facing racist discrimination from the mostly white archers he competed against. He started his archery experience at the Mohican Bowmen, the first all-black archery club in the US, in southern Maryland. 

The Fundamentals of Japanese Archery (1937) by Toshisuke Nasu, trans. William R. B. Acker 

Although Japanese archery – known as kyūdō – similarly saw a decline after the introduction of firearms in the 1500s, its modern version differs from American and European archery in both form and equipment. Kyūdō bows are much longer than western bows, and kyūdō archers pull the arrow back much further than western archers. As a martial art, kyūdō includes spiritual as well as physical development, though this varies wildly between different dōjō. Unlike many Japanese martial arts, kyūdō never became very popular in the United States. One of the main American books about kyūdō is Zen in the Art of Archery (1948) by Eugen Herrigel, which misrepresents the sport as far more mystical than kyūdō actually is. The book on display here, The Fundamentals of Japanese Archery, a translation by William R. B. Acker of instructions by kyūdōka (kyūdō master) Toshisuke Nasu, is more focused on form than spirituality. 

Archery (1941), Boy Scouts of America Merit Badge Series 

Merit badges in the Boy Scouts of America encourage young scouts to explore and master activities promoting character, citizenship, personal fitness, and leadership. Archery is one of the oldest merit badges and dates back to 1911. When this handbook was written in 1941, Scouts were required not only to learn how to shoot properly, but also to explain range safety rules; proper equipment construction, maintenance, and storage; and the history of archery as a sport. 

Princess Merida of Dunbroch, Brave (2012) poster

Merida, the strong-willed daughter of King Fergus, refuses to be married off to her father’s allies and exploits the rules of the Highland Games to compete in an archery tournament, which she easily wins. Merida’s form is considered highly accurate for a recurve archer, especially during the tournament scene in which she declares, “I am Merida, first born descendant of Clan Dunbroch, and I’ll be shooting for my own hand!” 

Ann Marston, Shooting Star: The Amazing Life of Ann Marston (2007) by Alana Paluszewski 

Although she was born in England, Ann Marston was a successful figure in multiple American popular culture industries, such modelling, pageantry, music production, and, of course, archery. Marston started her archery journey overseas before her family emigrated to Detroit, MI, in order for her father to work at an archery shop. Marston won many junior titles, including first place at the Maumee Valley Bowmen Invitational Tournament in Toledo, OH, and her record-breaking scores enabled her to compete among adult women at age 15 in the 1954 National Field Archery tournament. She also competed in Miss Michigan and, later, Miss America 1960, using archery as her talent demonstration. Because of her youth, skill, and All-American appearance, Marston was a frequent guest on talk shows and in magazines. Unfortunately, Marston had to give up archery when her vision began to fail due to complications from diabetes. Before she passed away at age 32, she managed several rock bands from the Michigan area. 

Apollo and Artemis, The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle (2016) by Rick Riordan 

The Greek gods Apollo and Artemis are perhaps two of the most well-known archers from world mythology. They are often attributed with inventing archery and teaching the sport to mankind. In the world of Percy Jackson – the demigod son of Poseidon – Apollo and Artemis play minor roles, until the Trials of Apollo series, which stars Apollo as a god stripped of his divinity and forced to live amongst mortals. 

Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games (2008) by Suzanne Collins, plus doll. 

In The Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss Everdeen volunteers in place of her sister to compete in a battle royale organized by a tyrannical government. Katniss survives in part due to her skill with a bow and arrows, which she uses to hunt food and kill her competitors. The Hunger Games was adapted into a series of four films in 2012. Jennifer Lawrence, the actress who played Katniss, was taught by bronze-winning Olympic archer Khatuna Lorig in how to accurately shoot a recurve bow for the film. The popularity of The Hunger Games film led to a surge of young girls and women joining archery as a sport. 

Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, Marvel Comics/Marvel Cinematic Universe 

Kate Bishop first made an appearance in Young Avengers #1 (April 2005; pictured here) as a headstrong civilian trained in a variety of martial arts, including a bow and arrows borrowed from the previous Hawkeye, Clint Barton. She starred in her own series in 2016 and again in 2021, among other appearances, as well as in the Disney+ miniseries Hawkeye (2021), where she is played by Hailee Steinfeld. Although Steinfeld learned how to shoot properly for the role, there were no arrows on her bow – they were added later by CGI. 

Bow & Arrow Archer’s Digest: The Encyclopedia for All Archers (1971) ed. by Jack Lewis 

The Encyclopedia for All Archers is a comprehensive guide to the practice of archery. It covers the history of archery; bowmaking; target shooting; and bowhunting. Although somewhat outdated, the encyclopedia is still an excellent resource for people wanting to learn about archery. 

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Oddities in Sports (1968) by Ripley Enterprises, Inc. 

This 50th anniversary celebratory edition for Ripley’s Believe It or Not writes that a man named Baquir Khan Najmai Sani performed “the most amazing feat of archery in all history!” Despite Ripley’s claim that all the stories featured in their books are true, the accuracy of this story is questionable, with no known sources to back it up. However, there are many different kinds of archery trick shots, such as blowing out a candle flame without touching the wax, so Baquir Khan Najmai Sani’s trick is definitely possible! Just difficult. 

Archery Handbook (1954) by Edmund H. Burke 

Having good arrows that are as identical as possible is one of the most important parts of practicing archery. While modern arrows are made from aluminum or carbon fiber, arrows have historically been made of a variety of wood, such as Port Orford Cedar or birch. This spread from the Archery Handbook shows women mass producing wooden arrows, though the book itself gives instructions for archers to make their own arrows and other equipment. 

Susan Pevensie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950) 

Susan is the second-oldest of the four Pevensie children who travel to the magical world of Narnia. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Father Christmas gifted her a magical bow and arrows that always hit their target. In a later book, Prince Caspian (1951), Susan wins an archery competition against the dwarf Trumpkin. Susan was portrayed by Anna Poppelwell, seen here in a photo from the illustrated movie companion to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005). 

Adaptive Archery Instruction Manual by USA Archery

Archery is very easy to adapt for people with a wide range of disabilities. USA Archery, the main governing body for Olympic-style archery in the US, has made multiple resources available for coaches and ranges to use when teaching archery in different ways. Adaptations include everything from specialized equipment to range modifications for wheelchairs and canes to smaller group classes. Silver medal Paralympian Matt Stutzman – also known as the Armless Archer – uses his shoulder and legs to shoot instead of his arms and hands.

JOMP Book Photo Challenge || November 12 || Want To Re-read:      Broken Blade by Ann Marston

I’ve been contemplating a reread for awhile now but never actually get around to it. My tastes have changed over time and a not insignificant number of books I found around the same period didn’t hold up to my memory of them. Will I reread Broken Blade eventually? Yes, but I’d like to hold on to my nostalgia for a bit longer just in case.

#Broken Blade #Ann Marston #Rune Blade Trilogy #justonemorepage #jompbpc #book photo challenge #book photography #books #Not Out of Void But Out of Chaos #I still have a lot of fantasy on my shelves from around middle school #I'm slowly rereading and seeing what is still to my tastes #but some of the absolute faves are still waiting #I don't want to not like them anymore #and nostalgia is a hell of a drug

What do you think of John marston?

he's hot, that's about it (pretending i didn't just write this whole thing abt him.) while i've read that he gets better over time, i'm yet to see it so i have mixed feelings on him. he's not a good father, not a good friend, not a good husband. let's be real here, he wouldn't make a good partner unless he fell in love before joining the gang.

john marston who wasn't completely alone before dutch saved his tail from getting hung. there was this poor baker and his wife, they had a kid, you. you weren't wealthy folk, no, but you always brought john dinner or shared yours. it wasn't large portions, but enough to keep him from dying of hunger.

you first met him when you caught him trying to steal from the bakery, rather than telling your parents you just handed him to bread. you had a mini picnic on the bakery's front porch, you talking his ears off was more than enough payment for the food.

you brought him food a couple more times, talking about yourself while he ate in silence, eventually he opened up and started engaging in the conversations you started. he never told you much about himself, other than the orphanage you could find him at. he showed you which window was his and that you only need to toss a pebble at it to get his attention.

as time passed, john became more and more of a no b.s. little boys. the kind of little boy that got himself killed or in a gang, as your daddy said. he didn't put up with anyone messing with you, in that respect he got more aggressive with your bullies, but never with you. you taught him things you learned from your mother as she was your teacher, some of it didn't stick but you tried.

inevitably, john disappeared. he was either dead in a ditch or in a gang, your dad didn't mention a third possibility but you liked to believe he'd been adopted by a nice family and that you'd see him again. you were only about 11 years old and he was 12, it wasn't shocking for you to have such enthusiasm.

life continued as usual for about three decades. you never married, business was going well after your parents died and suddenly you had one too many responsibilities on your plate for any of that. the world was becoming more and more industrialized by the day, you wouldn't even recognize it to what it once was when you were a kid. the only place that felt like home was your bakery, which is part of the reason it was doing so well, the nostalgia.

having had been in the business for so long, you were no stranger to thieves ─ you even caught one before you were double digits. one a particularly slow morning, the grey clouds settling in as you prepared for rain, a quiet hum caught your attention.

stepping out from the back, you caught a young man staring down your trays of different breads. he wasn't quiet at all, practically begging to be caught. you smiled, planning on just giving some to him anyway, but the look he gave you rendered you speechless from deja vu. same type of bread, same guilty smile, same brown eyes, same thinking hum.

"aw c'mon, son ─ jus' had to be this one of all the damn shops on the block," a man swore, the same way your dad did when he read about some young-ins doing stupid stuff in the paper. the voice was familiar, deeper as it had been many years now, but before you was john marston and another younger john marston.

since leaving the gang and his son's mother, john marston was a changed man. finally able to pay you back for all the bread and the bread his boy tried to steal. this time he gave you a proper picnic, in the large yard on his property. he set up under on of his sycamore trees, just like you had described three decades ago.

john marston may not have been adopted by some nice family nor was he always a nice man, but he was ready to become one for his son and you.

Anna Cora Mowatt and Anne Blake

Part I: Intriguing, But Less Than Ground-Breaking [A recording of this play is available at Librivox] John Westland Marston’s 1852 play, “Anne Blake” makes me glad I’m writing a blog. As you may have noticed, researching Anna Cora Mowatt’s acting roles has caused me to develop a taste for mid-19th-century popular drama. I found this script to be a wonderful example of the genre. If you too find…

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everybody! I'll be honest, its been a crazy month. I thought I would have plenty of time to get my Halloween redraw done this year, but I had to really crunch at the end to get it done. The shading isn't really up to my usual standards, so probably when I have more time I'll go back and do a proper shading pass.

I had a lot of fun doing different group combinations than the previous years, mostly breaking up the couples and letting them do friend or parent child costumes instead. And I finally got to do what I wanted to do last year, add in Zoey, Levin, and Malachi! They're arguably more important characters than Cadenza, hence why she got the axe this year (I still love her but she's not exactly plot central and I also had no ideas for her costume). So without further ado, here's my 2023 redraw!

Individuals and costume explanations under the cut:

KC: Emily (Stardew Valley) Based off Lizard Leigh's cosplay on YouTube.

Dante and Naoko: John Marston (RDR) and Link (BOTW). Sort of representing each generation's style of open-world gaming.

Lucinda: Megara (Hercules)

Levin and Malachi: Nightwing and Damien Wayne (Son of Batman)

Aphra, Garroth, and Laurance: Yellow guy, red guy, and duck (DHMIS show)

Zoey: Dani (Midsommar). I like the idea that she just saw the outfits and thought they were pretty, full on doesn't realize its a horror movie.

Zane: Jonathan Sims (The Magnus Archives)

Travis and Katelyn: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr (SIX)

Nicole and Dmitri: Cassandra and Casey Jones (Rottmnt)

about the reviewer: i'm a 28, white, bi, nonbinary from the u.s. my pronouns are they/them and you can call me A. i have a mfa in creative writing, which might peak through in how i review things. my favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy, romance, and mystery which will bias my reading habits. [credit for profile pic] you may find me writing romance under the penname Willow B. Sullivan.

faq

q: can i send a rec?

a: yes, please! if there are major trigger warnings i'd appreciate them, but they aren't a requirement. my only ask is please don't send anything where pregnancy or incest are a large part of the narrative.

q: can i submit a review?

a: not at the moment, but i may reconsider as i get this more put together.

q: will you cover x media which has a really popular ot3/ot4/etc.?

a: no, though i may do a special edition posts on some of my favorites. probably the biggest debate was Leverage/Leverage: Redemption but sadly at present i don't feel i can count among "canon" (though i will be popping the biggest bottles if it ever does become fully canon). i may rethink the "word of god" type canon later, but for now, that's where i land.
