Archery for Beginners

Anyone who has ever seen a Robin Hood movie has at one time or another dreamed of being an archer. To go strolling through the forest with bow in hand ready for any highwaymen that might be lurking about or, more accurately, coming across a damsel in distress and saving the day with a few well placed shots.

While gone are the days when such a thing was perhaps common, the sport of archery has lived on. People of all walks of life partake in this sport that has endured the test of time for centuries more than any other sport the human race has come up with. In fact, the first archers could be traced back as far as the stone age when budding homo-sapiens first developed and used the AtLaddle [spell and confirm], a curved, hand held stick with a hook on one end used to throw spears with greater range and accuracy.

The target of this article is not to delve into the history of archery as such a work would take many volumes to properly detail. This article's purpose is to inform and instruct you in the basics of how to get started in archery.
