    I used to in high school!

    I had a blast and even took first in a few competitions! My dad was my traveling/shooting buddy. When I left for college, we both just sorta lost interest in the competitions and never picked it back up.

    I'm glad you had fun!

    My high school offered it as well. I was pretty good. Once the string burns the inside of your arm you learn rather quickly the correct way to hold the bow

    Hey, thanks everyone, for your replies! I really hope to be able to find a place to participate in some target shooting. I think it would be a lot of fun to pick it up as a hobby.

    I used to about two years ago or maybe three. I was ok but I quit because I got bored of it! I do it occasionally now and it was kind of fun. I got a bullseye twice. I've never been to any competitions though, it was just something like a hobby with my dad. Good luck to you Kari! I hope you can start.

    My dad used to go to competitions while he was in high school and exposed us kids to it early. I haven't picked up a bow in a long time though, I used to be pretty good, not sure how I would be now, lol.
