I now teach courses for potential archery instructors. There is one especially designed for camp counsellors with no previous archery experience that teaches them how to run safe and effective programs. Send me a note if you are interested in having a course taught for your group or if you are interested in taking a course yourself. Most people have, perhaps in scouts or at a summer camp. Several million of you hunt with bow and arrow.
Target archery is popular in many areas of the country.
Many people, when asked, express a desire to try it again. But archery is also an Olympic Sport, first introduced into the modern Olympics in 1972. Most bowhunters use compound bows, with a wheel at each end to make it easier to shoot. The bowstrings are made of a kind of polypropelene that does not stretch and is strong enough to tow a car. Scoring in archery is very simple.
