I have and it's great... But not as good as Prima Spada - 16th Century Spanish style swordplay!

We had an archery week at my school last year and I found out I really suck at using a bow. :unsure:

I've tried a couple times. It wasn't good.I missed most of my shots. It was horrible. But I blame my friends because they made me laugh and put me off every time I went to shoot ;P

Tried it a few times when we went on vacation. Turns out this is the sort of hand-eye coordination that's right up my alley. :unsure: I did like the traditional bow better. Not too sure about all the ropes and stuff on the modern one.

Have you ever tried archery? I have at a summer camp.... It was awesome I hope I might do more in the future!

You don't have to go to camp to do Archery. I made my own bow and arrow using bamboo sticks, string, some cardboard( to act as a target and for the arrows feathers ((works just as good as feathers))). It was awesome. If you have a back yard, then you have your own Archery Range. I used a video to show me how to make one, and made some "improvements" so that my bow had more power to do some "penetration" on thick blocks of wood. You have to try it, you'll have a ball.

I did a day of archery when I went to Outdoor School in 6th grade. I loved it so much, but I haven't had a chance to do it again for a while. :P

I tried it in school, it really depends on the bow that was given, if the bow is cool and advanced, I will LOVE IT! But if it is a lousy bow that shoots like a baby, I will hate it. I only used a proffesional bow once. It was awesome!

I was a boy scout, so yeah I got to try my hand at it. I think I tried the old fashioned bow once, and I know that I used a compound bow before. I am not very good at it. If I devoted more time to it, I could probably be pretty good, but I don't think I could compete at a world level.

To me i think archery is one of those sports you always have a idea to take it up and find a club...heck you even go out and buy all the gear....you just never actually get round to making the effort to go to the clubs.....Oak

My problem is that I lose the arrows. They get stuck in the ground and stuff like that. If I was in a building, I guess it would be easier to find them, but I don't really do that much archery.

I've tried it before in two different ways... A friend of mine was an archery champion, so I tried out her compound bow but wasn't strong enough to pull it. Then I tried a stupid kiddie toy version and I felt very pathetic and couldn't get it to do anything.I'm a fan of archery, I just don't have what it takes, I think.

Archery seems fun...they offer a class for it at my college but I've never taken it.But it can't be that hard, just pull the bow back and let fly...right? =o
