I tried archery when I was about five. I don't really remember where I was though. I don't think I hit the target at all, and if I did it must have only been the outer circle!

Yes I have; the school I used to go to had bows and arrows, and we fired them from the oval at a target fifty metres away. fun.

No but I'm itching to try it. The archery shop in my area got closed because its too dangerous. I hoped they reopened it back soon.

Yeah I used to be pretty into archery - had a decent compound bow and would go to the range to practice. Where I lived (Berkeley) there was a cool archery range and course up in the hills. It was kind of like playing golf. Bow hunting would probably be cool but I wasn't hardcore enough to want to dress and eat what I'd be killing, so I never tried it.

I've tried it. The middle school had us do archery for P.E. It was more difficult than one would expect, mostly because of aiming and the effort it takes to pull back the string. Mostly I just remember one time shooting the arrow and having part of the fletch jab itself into my finger. Yeah, good times.

Yes. And I suck at every single sport, mainly because I'm not confident enough to play "seriously" and actually try. It's been a long time since I've last tried, but from what I remember, I didn't hit the target.

I have my own bow, my dad and I go out to the range every other weekend and shoot at targets. We'll often go deer hunting with bows to.

Yes. The bows were made for people with next to no strength though, so it was pretty boring.
