Yea I wasn't that bad at it either maybe I should pick it back up.... You know just in case there is a Zombie outbreak and I don't want to alert the others.

No I haven't but I'd love to try it! I'm known for having a sharp eye in sports so I'm wondering if I'll become good at it too!

I did for a couple of years, weekly. I found it wonderful but had to stop. The most beautiful thing is when the archer and the goal become one in the perfect shot. There's a good book about it: Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel.Cherio

No, but I'm dying to. The college I'm planning to attend has an archery team. And, not to blow my own horn, I'm a fairly gifted marksman. With some practice I could be pretty good. I might look into trying it out.

All I can say is dont walk in front of me when I have a bow and arrow in my posession...No responsibility taken for your stupidity. lol.It is alot harder that it looks. You need alot of strength in your arms to extend the arrow back far enough to reach the target.The first few shots all I can manage is skimming the arrow along the grass. But eventually I hit the target. Still waiting for the elusive bullseye though.

No, I haven't, although my school offers this as a PE class, and I'm interested in taking this next semester.

Played in gym class in high school. Pulling back the bow string and getting the arrow to release in the direction you want is a good deal harder than I expected. Plus, if you're not wearing gloves or a forearm guard, your hands take a real beating.

I've never had the chance to try out archery although i do like archery a lot. (Probably cuz of the influences of online games 
) I hope i'll have the chance to try it one day.

I have on a few occasions. Though the last time I went was really bad, the "feathers" were all ripped up and they could hardly fly straight and true.

I did archery in middle and early high school, but that was years ago. I've been thinking of checking out Japanese archery at one of the local universities in town though - heard it's way different, so it should definitely be interesting at the least. ^^
