Archery

Don’t give up after missing the target a few times! Archery relies on concentration and technique rather than strength or stamina, and remains a popular hobby today because of how satisfying it is hitting the ‘gold’ in the centre of the target.

Pros:

  • Social
  • Outdoors: fresh air and exercise
  • Relatively cheap hobby (until you buy your own equipment)
  • Suitable for any age group
  • Calm, relaxing

Cons:

  • Can be difficult for beginners (demotivating when you keep missing!)
  • You need a specialist equipment and safe place to practise
  • Requires a lot of space
  • Equipment can be expensive
  • Can get quite ‘samey’!
