Yeah I have it my summer camp too! It's a lot of fun, but it's really hard! I've gotten a bullseye twice I think!

oh yes, there's one archery arcade at my local shopping mall.it's not as easy as it looks! The bow is very heavy and it's hard to focus on my arm and the target at the same time.

It's quite fun... though not so fun if you sprained your elbow, of course.

My dad bought a hunting bow, so my friend and I took it out one day (without his knowing of course) and we decided to try shooting in the sky to make it look like a 1-man Lord of the Rings army scene with the flying arrows. We miscalculated the wind, and it landed in a neighbor's house. First thing we did was dip, and when we learned that the neighbors didn't even realize they had an arrow lodged somewhere in their house, we chose not to inform them. Heheh, bows can be totally dangerous weapons. :s Like anything else that you need good aim with.

I've just gotten into it myself, a neighbor of mine builds bows and has hundreds of them lined on the walls and ceilings. He actually gave me a recurve and compound bow (after fitting it to my specified proportions). This is a fun hobby that I hope I can keep up with.

Archery is awsome. I've done it for a year now and would like to go bow hunting in the future. I think it is much more exciting then hunting with a rifle. Did you know there are even some fish you can get with a bow? Alligator garr are huge angry evil looking fish that you can go box fishing for. That would be the absolute most exciting way to fish. Atleast untill the legalize fishing with missles. Ha that would be great.

i joined the club during high school. i didn't have a chance to o it again in college. it's fun, even though my aiming ability is at a very low level (if i am a video game character, i should use a sword instead of bow). it reminds me of sailor mars and robin hood. XD

No I have never tried archery but I would probably be horrible at it since my eyesight isn't very good.

I've tried Archery at a school trip. I admit that it is not easy, but I had a lot of fun. It takes a while to even get the aiming down.(No bullseye :good: )
