The Society's motto reads "Union, Trueheart and Courtesie"

Founded on the 4th of September, 1931 in Lwow, Poland, by seven countries (France, Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, the United States, Hungary, and Italy), FITA serves to promote and regulate archery world-wide through its more than 140 Member Associations (National Federations or Associations) and in conformity with the Olympic principles. It aims at framing and interpreting the FITA Rules and arranging for the organization of World Championships and other international competitions.
The English Archery FederationThe English Archery Federation (EAF) is a body set up by the five English Regions within The Grand National Archery Society (GNAS) to select and manage teams for International events where it is appropriate for England (as opposed to Great Britain) to participate.

British Long-Bow SocietyThe British Long-Bow Society perpetuates the use of the traditional recreational Longbow for two-way Target and Clout shooting, by arranging Bow Meetings for its members throughout the British Isles. It endorses a Craft Guild of Traditional Bowyers and Fletchers who are able to make equipment to the Society's criteria. It assists a number of clubs and organisations who use the recreational Longbow, and many who organise their own traditional Bow Meetings to the Society's Rules of Shooting. The Hon. Membership Secretary maintains a list of "Longbow friendly" clubs which can only be kept updated if members supply details of such clubs.
