From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Archer
     a shooter with the bow (1 Chr. 10:3). This art was of high
     antiquity (Gen. 21:20; 27:3). Saul was wounded by the Philistine
     archers (1 Sam. 31:3). The phrase "breaking the bow" (Hos. 1:5;
     Jer. 49:35) is equivalent to taking away one's power, while
     "strengthening the bow" is a symbol of its increase (Gen.
     49:24). The Persian archers were famous among the ancients (Isa.
     13:18; Jer. 49:35; 50:9, 14, 29, 42. (See {BOW}).
