Archery Celebrates 50 Years of Olympics Return

September 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the return of archery to the modern Olympic Games. After a hiatus of 52 years, archery returned to the Games for the 1972 Munich Olympics and has remained a core Olympic sport ever since. American archers, John Williams and Doreen Wilbur, took gold at the historic event using made-in USA X7 arrows. Their achievement with the Easton X7 was a harbinger of things to come. To this day, Easton arrows have been used for every gold, silver and bronze title since archery’s return to the Games. Today, Olympic Champions use the made-in-USA Easton X10, which has won every Olympic title since its introduction at the 1996 Atlanta Games.

To say stay at the forefront, Easton shaft technology continues to evolve, with many of the benefits of Olympic-winning arrow shafts carrying over to every segment of archery, including bowhunting and recreational archery. The same technologies used for champions at 90 meters, are found in shafts like the Easton AXIS and FMJ used in bowhunting.
