Sport for which one takes a bow? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

archery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sport' is the definition.
(I know that archery is a type of sport)

'one takes a bow?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for which' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for archery that I've seen before include "Bowman's sport" , "The sport of shooting arrows with a bow" , "Sport of the bowman" , "Arrow-shooting" , "Target sport - Olympic event in from 1900-08, in 1920 and since 1972" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
