History

The history of the organization dates back to 1926, when workers of FB "Łucznik" Radom formed the Club of Cyclists and Motorcyclists Broń (Polish word ''broń'' means "weapon" in English, as FB Łucznik, the main sponsor of the club, was a firearms manufacturer). In the course of time, other departments were added, and the organization changed its name to ''Klub Sportowy Broń''. With financial support of the Łucznik plant, Broń emerged as the largest sports organization in the city of Radom. By the early 1930s, Broń had such departments, as archery, tennis, boxing, volleyball, cycling and football. Construction of a new stadium and a swimming pool was initiated, and a cycling track was built. The organization continued to prosper after World War II. In the 1960 Olympic Games in
