Archery is the art, practice, or skill of propelling arrows with the use of a bow. Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat.  The oldest indication for its use comes from the Stellmoor in the Ahrensburg valley north of Hamburg, Germany and dates from the late Paleolithic, about 10,000–9,000 BC.  Today, archery serves more as a recreational activity.

One of the reasons archery is such a great sport is that just about anyone can participate in it; old, young, handicapped, even the blind with the use of some cutting-edge technology.  Much like any other sport archery is a very physical sport in that it demands archers get themselves in-shape as they practice more and more. If you wish to become an advanced archer, know you will have to develop a significant amount of upper-body strength, through training and conditioning.
A great advantage of the sport of archery is that it demands attention and is therefore a very mentally demanding activity.  As you begin to develop in this sport, you’ll find that your focus on other things in your life outside of archery will most likely become heightened. Thus, archery will give you a boost in a number of mental-aspects in your life.  South Florida offers professional archery.
