520    While Native Americans depended on archery for survival, 
       archery as a sport never caught on in America as it had in
       England. When the infamous Robin Hood was participating in
       archery competitions in the 1100s, and armies of Central 
       Asia were implementing archery into their military tactics
       up until the 1500s, the United States did not exist. 
       Certainly important in the history of archery, the Native 
       Americans taught many English settlers and colonists the 
       ways of the bow and arrow. As technology progressed, 
       however, the methods for hunting and fighting changed 
       drastically. By the late 1700s, when Americans were 
       fighting for independence from England, gun technology 
       made archery in wartime obsolete. By the 18th and 19th 
       centuries, participation in archery competitions in 
       England had decreased and American tournament archery 
       waned with it. Toward the end of the 19th and beginning of
       the 20th centuries, the sport again became more prominent 
       in America and worldwide. Today, elite athletes 
       participate in the centuries-old art. And with the 
       emergence of more contemporary stories of Robin Hood and 
       popular culture archers like Green Arrow from comic books 
       and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, archery is 
       slowly climbing the ranks as one of America’s favorite 
       sports.
