The Hobby Of Archery And Bows

I am here to talk about archery. I started this sport/hobby when I was 14 years old, and can still say that I do it at age

31. To put it simply, it's fun. In fact, if you've never shot a bow in your life, I think it's time you gave it a shot. No

pun intended. bows are not just for those who hunt deer or turkeys. Shooting a bow is for anyone who enjoys the act

itself. I have never been hunting in my life. I practice with targets made from hay bales. Now, before you get to excited

and turn into Robin Hood, I should remind you that there are some imperative supplies involved. Well, are you ready to get

started?

Alright, as you probably already know, dates back many centuries. The bow and arrow not only pre-dates the firearm,

but it actually came before a lot of useful new-age weaponry. I personally love bows for a few grand reasons. Here

they are! One; the bow and arrow are virtually silent. While there may be a soft whip of the wind, an arrow travels

completely different than a bullet. There's no BANG! Two; I love the fact that bows cannot just go off. They must

be drawn and released. Therefore, no small child is going to accidentally shoot him/herself with an arrow. Three;  

bows have outstanding penetrating abilities. I can take my 45 and shoot a heavy sandbag, and the bullet will stick inside

it. Then I can take my bow and do the same, but the arrow will blow through. How cool it that? Four; is just plain

and simply fun. There is a definite nostalgia that goes along with it. It's something wonderful you can pass along to your

children. I am almost ready to teach my daughter archery. She can hardly wait to wrap her hand around that bow handle.

With archery, comes a great deal of responsibility. You certainly have to have the right place to enjoy your bows For example, you would never shoot your long bow in the back

yard if you had neighbors right next to you. Living in the suburbs can be a bummer that way. You will have to search for an

archery range in your area instead. Although bows are a blast, you must take the proper safety precautions at all

times.
