oh hi, =//**Archery**//= Archery is a sport based on firing any type of weapon that uses mechanical means to project a certain projectile at a target. This usually includes any type of crossbow, bow or even ballistas (massive crossbow catapults that fire large javelins) at some no'y events. Being a relatively unorthodox sport it has many types of events from crossbow sport hunting to ballista clout (an event were contestant must hit a large target at a long range but cannot lower there ballista below a 60° to the ground). There are no particular rules that are generic across the various events in archery except accuracy and consistency is valued in any event. My favourite archer is Terry Winterfield and this guy that we all call Robin Hood but no one knows his real name. The most memorable event I have ever witnessed is without doubt the Asorted Bow Clout in Canberra.
