High School Sports
 
Just wondering what sports you guys (and girls) play for your schools. I personally run cross country and play lacrosse.

Well I used to play soccer and baseball, but I can't any more due to an injury.:(
So now my main "sport" has become hunting and I will still downhill ski in the winter.

I made the decision a long time ago not to play school sports. Hunting season(s) tend to fall during all the school sports offered and I can't make myself take the time out of my hunting to play sports that won't mean that much to me later on.

Baseball & Football. I use to play basketball but got tired of the wind sprints and the coach. It takes away from hunting time but I can only play H.S sports for 4 years of my life and have had some of my best memorys on the mound.

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.

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!

how can you say that archery isnt a sport, is it a challenge? yes. competitions, yes. coachs, yes. everything is in bold print right there moron. Shooting sporting clays also a sport, takes talent, and effort, just like all sports. do you know exactly how hard it is to shoot archery for competition using no sights, a genesis bow? It takes a good method of trying to come up with a way to aim, posture, follow through, everything. You are an idiot if you dont consider shoooting and archery a sport, PSE, again, you have no logic or any reason for saying that. Find some solid evidence before you go around and let BS come out of your motuh. You are ignorant and need to mature before you can further post stupid things like that. Archery - a NATIONAL sport that we do in school with our teacher. read about it.

"And soccer is for little boys who're too scared to play football. ;) "

soccer is just as rough as football except without the pads. i have no problem going up to a senior and showing him whose boss. soccer also requires a lot more stamina b/c we dont stop after every play.

it is challenging, i will admit that. it has everything that a SPORTS team has. difficulty has nothing to do with it, along with talent, effort, ect.i think uare the one who needs to keep his mouth shut, and just listen once in awhile. u have no logic for saying that he needs to mature, and that he is a moron.*EDIT BY RH*and listen for once. then u need to get rid of ur bias, and really look at this matter from all sides before making a decision on it.


Watch the language please

Maybe you're right. Maybe PSE isn't the one that needs to mature.

You do, however.

If you get so easily worked up that you have to bring fowl language, however censored, into a conversation that a lot of younger members will see, then you need to grow up.

How is it that he is being biased while you're not? You've made your opinion plain and clear, so have we. Just because our opinions differ from yours doesn't make us biased.

If my opinion were biased I would be making comments like "OMFG The only sport is archery, everything else is stupid."

Since when does effort, talent, and difficulty have nothing to do with a sport? The last time I checked any compettetive sport took a little of each of those things. Those things have everything to do with sports. Everything.

I also think you're the one who needs to take a step back and reanalyze your position on the matter. Tell me one legitimate reason why archery isn't a sport. One reason. When you can come up with one good reason then maybe, just maybe, I'll take you seriously again. Until then you're just another ignorant kid trying to make a useless point on the internet.

Yes, I'm calling you ignorant and immature. Go ahead, cuss me out. You know you want to.

Sport- an active diversion requiring physicalexertion and competition.

Read this definition and tell me if archery is a sport.

In archery,oneis physically doing an activity and competing. You say that archery is not a sport, but you fail to realize that this is your opinion, and your opinion is not valid in changing the above mentioned facts.
