Archery is a great pastime, have you ever tried it?

I have. Archery is really fun. A long time ago archery was mainly used for combat and hunting. Now more people shoot at targets.

Back in the midwest, a lot of people still use it to hunt. A lot of states allow people to archery hunt earlier in the season before rifle season opens.

Very cool. Archery can be traced back as early as 10,000 BC in the late Paleolithic where they were used to hunt.

Bows have advanced a lot since then. Compact bows can now shoot up to 400 feet per second.

Definitely. Scientists have found the oldest bows in a swamp in Denmark.
