Archery!

Postby Colorado14ers » May 19th, 2012, 4:12 pm

Archery anyone? You know, Bows and arrows? I use a vintage 40# Ben Pearson Recurve (though im looking into getting a compound bow). Even if you dont partake in the hobby/sport, do you at least have some interest in it? :D

I did archery once or twice on school tours, I wasn't that great, but I wasn't terrible, I was hitting the target, but only at the "6 points" mark.

I wouldn't mind taking it up sometime if I knew somewhere close by that does archery classes or sessions.

Archery's an extremely fancy hobby in my perspective though eh? I haven't tried it because too hard and don't got the cash to nor the time to spend on it.

It's not that hard once you are told how to do it properly.

I tried doing archery when I was young, actually I was at summer camp when I first tried it. I wasn't very good at it, but I've been debating taking it up or at least trying it out again. WE'll see what happens though.

I do prefer anarchy. And I knew a guy called Archibald once. Had something wrong with his left foot.

^The hardest thing about it is getting it anywhere near the target. For me, it's either not powerful enough to reach the target or misses the target. With a bit of practice, I think I could get pretty good.

Dispite the name, crossbows are much different and much harder to me.
