Horseback archery implications

Would we consider the use of a crossbow to be archery? Or mounted crossbowmen to be engaging in horseback archery?

I sure hope not, that's not what archery means.

I'm more confused about archery's existence. We don't have an equivalent for guns or other weapons.

I find it ironic that the wiki of archery asks it to be used only on posts where the bow is in use, and yet kyuudou is implicated to it which catches things like post #6931491. I don't think this tag is useful, given that we already have the more populous and less ambiguous drawing bow.

There is an equivalent for guns, called firing.
