Archery is an attractive pastime for many reasons: the outdoor natural environment, the escape from everyday life, the intensive level of focus required, and the feel-good factor of hitting the target dead center.
Tapping into a timeless connection between human skill and the natural world, modern archers use padded targets designed to take the impact of arrows traveling at speeds of over 240 km/h.
