Archery

[edyzmedieval]

Soo... anyone here a part-time Robin Hood, archer of Sherwood? (only the archery part)

MTW and M2TW have rekindled my interest in archery, particularly now that buying a bow is very easy and there's even copies of traditional longbows that are made from modern composite materials which makes it much easier for a newbie to store and take care of. Clearly you need other equipment (bracers? thumb rings?) but it's a growing sport, especially in the Olympic zone.

Anyone here practicing archery? Any tips to start off?

(I practiced archery before - but a long time ago)

Ive always wanted to, never had the means. Seems like an expensive sport. I mean going to the local Renaissance fair and shooting some arrows is one thing, an actual interest in the sport I imagine takes some expendable cash.

Would somebody PLEASE usefully employ this fellow! Sheesh.

Who has the money for their own archery range?

Edit: wait I just described your average back yard. Ill go back to being quiet.

I do archery, it's great fun. Don't expect to be good at it very fast

It's really satisfying once you get the hang of it.

It's not that expensive, Hooah. I found a traditional longbow type bow made out of modern materials for approximately 70 USD, which is not a lot at all. It's quite decent.

Many large cities have archery ranges.
