The sport was used as a rehabilitation activity for injured veterans by Dr. Ludwig Guttmann at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the 1940s. He held the first archery tournament for 16 patients at the English hospital in 1948. The competition was run annually, and in 1952 a Dutch team participated, setting the foundation for an international event for impaired athletes and acting as a precursor to the Paralympic Games.
The first European Para-Archery Championship took place in Switzerland in 2014.
This year the European Para - Archery Championship will be held in Rome from the 17 to the 25 of May.
