HISTORY FITA was founded on 4 September 1931 in Poland . Its seven founding member states were France , Czechoslovakia , Sweden , Poland , the United States , Hungary , and Italy . The aim of the organization was to create regular archery championships, and to return archery to the Olympic Games (the sport had not been featured since 1920 ). FITA was finally successful in returning archery to the Olympic program in the 1972 Summer Olympics . FITA began holding Target World Championship s in 1931. They were held every year until 1959 , when the Championships became Biennial events. 1959 was also the first year that FITA held the World Field Championship. EXTERNAL LINKS |
