Archery is fun, even though it might seem slow. I have tried it in summer camp, and I sucked. I am tried archery in my school, and I still sucked. However, my skills have - somewhat - improved since my last try (popping balloons at the bullseye was fun).

Yeah, twice.Once with foam targets and blunted arrows (UGH) and once with slightly blunted arrows and longbows - we were all instructed to fire at the instructor while he defended himself with a shield ^_^

No, but I really want to. I'd probably end up killing someone by accident because of my poor aim, but that's okay.

Tried it out a little. Compound bow, 60-70 pound force. Probably should use a proper bow to actually get the real feel of things, though.
