i dunno, in some schools there are riflery programs so maybe...., but if he means that as a hobby than no it isnt a HS sport

Baseball - Starting Pitcher, Reliefe Pitcher, Third Base, First Base

Soccer - Goalie, Forward

I run Cross Country and am pretty good for being an ex-football guy. i quit football caus you lose too much bowhunting time for it especially during playoffs which is the same time as the rut.
I also LOVE baseball. I play pretty much everywhere but am best in the outfield.

well whatever you want to call it, but we compete in comps. and will whoop KY'sbutt some time this year PSE. i have a buddy who might get a scholarship for shooting sporting clays. he got the #2 spot in the nation like 2 yrs ago. Hunter hopkins. he is darn good and i hope he gets the scholarship.

Go ahead and whoop ourbutts shooting styrofoam. I put my money on the real thing in the wild. [:-]What college is he going too? I think thats a total waste of a school's scholarship money. Its a hobby and the majority of America will agree with me. Its like calling Darts a sport or photography a sport. Plain and simple bs.

You're saying archery isn't a sport? Tell that to everyone who shoots national and international compettitions. Tell that to every Olypmic shooter out there.

Saying that archery isn't a sport is one of the most ignorant things I have ever read in the young hunters forum.

Some people call it a sport but I gurantee that the majority of America will rank it with walking a dog in difficulty. I rank competitive eating over competitive archery. Ive played 5 different M.S & H.S sports since 7th grade and the 'difficulty' in shooting a bow doesnt come close to the difficulty in any other normal sport.

Go shoot at an actual certified compettition and come back and talk. Until you've shot at the level that the majority of these shooters are at, you've got no room to talk. I've shot at local and state shoots and it's a lot more difficult than you might think.

Also, don't speak for the majority of Americans. Until you've talked to the majority of Americans you can only speak for yourself. Don't generalize, it makes you look even more ignorant.

I dont have time to shoot at that high of a level competitively. I know people who shoot at that level and it takes up alot of there free time. Im too busy playing real sports. And I dont think Im being ignorant in saying that the majority of America wouldnt consider shooting a bow a sport. Thats a totally fair judgment.

PSE . sorry to burst ur small bubble that you live in , but ESPN did a segment on the top 25 hardest sports , boxing was # 1 , Ice hockey 2 , soccer 3, basketball 4 and archery came in at like # 5 . so if we r talking wussy sports , look at ur football , not even top 5 , that sucks huh....... i mean u get all those breaks between every play , the hits r at a top speed of maybe 10-15 mph , and anyone can run around and catch a football ..... but to be able to range yardage , tune ur bow , use all the special equiptment , that seems a lil more like a sport to me.... im not ragging on the sports that you play , but you should think a little farther into detail. I personally play ice hockey , one of the hardest to play , skating up to 35 MPH on a 1/8 piece of steal , dipping , dodging , carrying a puck , shooting , gettin hit , hooked , slashed , fighting , some plays lasting up to 12 minutes without a break , so it all is in the eyes of the player , but archery , rifle , and sporting clays r all definatley a sport, hell even dog competitions r concidered a sport!
