Toxophilite
The term derives from a word created for a 1545 book, "Toxophilus" (“Lover of the Bow”), by humanist and scholar Roger Ascham. The treatise was the first book in English on the subject of archery. A heliophile is a lover of the sun or light; a mêleur is a meddler in other people's business; a tireur à l'arc is an archer - but not "a l'Arche".
