The Hunger Games Has Made Archery Cool
This, according to the
Guardian.
From the story...
"Last year there was a survey of 12-18 year olds who were asked what Olympic sport they would like to try and
came out top," said Peter Jones, from Archery GB. He points out
membership has already risen from 16,000 people in 2004 to 36,000 in
2012. "Our have-a-go sessions are fully booked and when I went to my
local club the other day there was no room for new members"
Heidi Nichol, from 2020 Archery said the Olympics were having an immediate effect. "We've already had a
big spike in inquiries thanks to the records being broken."
