Advantages: good fun
Disadvantages: expensive addictive and annoying when things go wrong
After reading the Review from baldeagle about Archery Equipment felt that i wanted to have my say about the sport.
i have been doing archery now for 5 years roughly and and member of a club and also work at my closest archery store. i think that the sport is amazing and there is a lot of pleasure with family and freinds doing this sport wether in a club or at home in the garden (has to be a big one!).
i started in the scouts and wanted to see how far i could go so i found a local club and went for a taster day where i was shown how to shoot with a sight and some proper shooting techniques. after that i went back to join the club after doing an initiation course. and here i am now i have moved a long way from my first bow and baldeagle is right you nver forget your first bow.
I bought my first bow after 4 months at the club. i went to the shop whih i am now working at (Quicks) where i was set up with a recurve starter kit. in which you get the basic package ideal for clubs which include a bow arrows case and every thing else i needed the bow i had was great but now it is unfortunatly been sold but ast least i know that i is in good hands.
i bought my new bow after about another year and im going to keep the riser (handle)as it can be used with any limbs i wish to put on it. at the moment i am pulling 40lb at 31 inches which is quite a bit for a 15 year old but i am happy i go most sunday for a whole day and just shoot round. this sport is so adictive as we hold monthly competitions which i have won 2 of shows you ow hard you have to work but that is part of the fun i recon as whats the point of just shooting when you have n0o compititon.
i am hoping to get much better over the next 6 years and hopfuly get into the london 2012 olympics as that would be my dream. but anyway archery great sport can be expensive when getting new equipment once you get good but dont worry bout that until you have to. the great thing about this sport is that at the start you are nice and calm and all of the people involved are nie i have gone to quite alot of competitions at other clubs and every one helps each other out i think it is a great sport and woud recomend it to many people no matter age soze of stregth just have a go!
Summary: the most important thig i feel is that it is a good stress reliver
