I have like two or three bows. I'm not really good at it.I can't aim and i don't have the technique.My brother is a real sniper though.If i had to fight with a bow i'd probably use the bow as a club and the arrows as spears.would do more damage with that

We did archery for a while in one of my gym classes. It was a miracle no one got hurt with the kinda people that go to our schools...

Absolutely! Amazingly fun but incredibly difficult. Don't give up though if you're not good at first. You'll get a lot better with hard work.

I've tried archery a few times, but I am not very good at it. It would be fun to do it more if I had access to the equipment and a range.

I practice archery in my spare time. I hate composite bows, too bulky and there's really no need for that much power. You're more likely to pierce someone's car a mile away than hit a target 500 feet from you. Recurve is the only type of bow I used, and even then since I'm in the city, I rarely get to use it, as the law in my area considers it a weapon.Well, it IS, really. But so is a stick if you're planning on using it to hit somebody. XD

Archery is in the P.E. cirriculum at my school. I'm done with P.E. at my school though, but it was fun. My little brother has a bow with arrows, but he hasn't used them.

Yes, i have done archery a number of times. My 4h club when i was a kid taught proper shooting. Being left handed it was a little bit more difficult to find a left handed bow, but it was good. In highschool, I often managed to shoot the target well enough to get it to bounce back towards the firing line. Now it didn't go terribly close or anything, it was just funny how lame the equipment in highschool was that it could bounce off the target and come back towards you.. Normal targets it goes in and through, but not back.. i don't remember what we were shooting at but it was funny.
