Although, this is the bare bones of what archery actually is, this is not nearly what constitutes as the sport of archery. Archery is a sport that can push an athlete above and beyond what they even believe they can achieve, through physical exercise; mental training; improving essential skills such as balance, confidence, and patience; it is a safe sport; it teaches life lessons; the world is full of supportive and helpful archers; and archery opens up new doors that may not have been possible otherwise. There are many benefits to archery that should be taken into consideration. Physical Exercise Jake Kaminski competing in the Rio Olympics. Photo Credits:
