Nope.
Unless you count watching archery competitions/exhibitions around various stately homes and castles in the UK :lips:

Used to, until I had an accident and was unable to bend a bow.

Of course, by "archery" I mean stick bows and wooden arrows with real feather fletching; not those machines with all the wheels and cables and who-all knows what.

LOVE archery...haven't done it in years...

Love shooting as well. NOT to kill something unless I was intending to eat it. The sport is really 'fun' in a fashion. Don't know how to describe it to anyone that can't get into it.

Was on my High School team. I love the focus and precision you need.

oh the love....

I mostly shoot a compound bow (with wheels and stuff....lol).
But....I also shot a recurve (with wood arrows) a few weekends ago.
It was sooooo fun. So now I am looking at a custom recurve.
The bad thing is....this custom place it take about ONE YEAR to get your bow *sad* *frown*....but...it will be worth it!! :bounce:

Cool, I used to love archery too, but an injury to my elbow (laying a flagstone walk to my house) left that love in the dust.

Now, my sport discovery is FENCING! WOW! It's a lot of fun and just right for chefs and former chefs. I think it's the use of really, really BIG KNIVES!

My teacher also gives fencing classes at the CIA in Hyde Park which he says are always full.
