I must agree with you nmb, archery is so much more than just a hobby. It is a passion. I realize that some people do not consider archery a "sport" like football or baseball, but it requires many of the same things from the participant. If it were not a sport we loved, we would not put in the hours of practice time on the range and indoor shoots through the winter months to be able to compete. I truly enjoy the 3D competitions and 5 spot shoots. I do not always win with the highest score, but I am always a winner because I am doing something I love and sharing good times with friends and family. What better things to be passionate about?
