Well I've shot a bow before though I've never actually attempted learning or perfecting it. I was just doing it to see how far up in the sky it would shoot. After it came down at really high speeds and almost nailed me I realize that bows were not going to be my choice of weapons.
Have you Ever tried Archery?

I love it!When i shoot arrows it brings out an ancient person in me, i feel so in contact with my ancient human side! I think thats why many people still do it, just cool doing something we did 1000s of years ago!

No, I haven't actually tried actual archery, but I'm sure it would be fun and I've tried with a pencil bow and arrow tough.

Yeah. I went for a mini-archery course on a holiday to the Isle of Wight. The bows were some composite material and it was fairly easy. I think I finished near the top of my group. The second time I tried it, however, was at an army farm near the Himalayas with an actual wooden bow. Hardest damn thing I've ever tried, not even one shot on target - I simply wasn't strong enough. 
Those weedy soldiers were easily drawing and shooting!

I had to do archery in gym once, and it was very hard to aim. I also did it at a birthday party once. From my experience, I would have to say archery is an interesting sport to do despite the fact I suck at it...

My brother tried it at school for his gym class. He said it's hard at first but real fun once you get the hang of it.

Never got the chance to try it, but I've wanted to. I do know relatives that have tried it, though.

My school had an archery class, so I took it. It was pretty fun. Until you accidentally hit your arm with the bow string.

My school had an archery class but it was for a short while for PE. I loved it and would love to continue with it except there arent many classes available around where I live. Although, it really hurts when you hit your arm with the string.

We did archery in high school. I was pretty bad at it but by the end of the unit my shots were actually fairly consistent. I've yet to see someone split an arrow though.
