Expressing delight over this decision, Secretary of the Archery Association of India, Paresh Nath Mukherjee, said this decision would help in taking compound archery to a new level. “Archery has become very popular in India,\u201d he said. \u201cThough Compound is comparatively new in India but in a very short period, it has attracted large number of players. Moreover, like Recurve archers, Indian Compound archers have brought laurels to the country by winning various medals in 2010 Commonwealth Games, World Cup stages and the Asian Grand Prix events and the inclusion of this event in the Asian Games would boost this event in the country. Also, it will add more medals to India as our Compound players are extremely good.”<\/p>\n
