Archery Anyone?

Has anyone done this? Did anyone else even know about it? I just saw this today and thought it sounded like something my kids would have loved. Though they shoot recurve, not compound.

Archery Experience READY " AIM " ARCHERY! It takes a steady hand to land that bull's-eye at the Fort Wilderness Archery Experience. Archery Guides lead Guests through a short training session on how to hold a compound bow and release an arrow into a range target. DVC Members take 10% off (ages 6 and up). For reservations, call (407) WDW-PLAY (407-939-7529).

I've never heard of it but I might like to try. We did archery in high school gym class eons ago - it was a year when the 17-year cicadas were out, and the little buggers were hopping all over the archery field and flying all around us while we tried to shoot. Fun times! I sucked at it, but would not half mind trying it again now that I'm (much) older and have (a little) more patience. (And no cicadas.)

Many, many years ago when I was in Junior High School we did archery and I seem to remember that I was pretty good at it. I would definitely give it a try!

I've known about that for years. It's right next to the Fantasia pistol range.

Well first off I had to read that twice to realize you were saying ARCHERY and not ANARCHY...LOL

My experience with archery was in middle school when we did it in gym class and I some how managed to when I shot it...I got the feather on the end of the arrow stuck in my finger...that wasn't very fun

That sounds like so much fun! I loved archery in the Boy Scouts! I remember setting a record at summer camp one year. It's one of my favorite things to do outdoors, but I rarely get to do it. I'd love to do it with my family at Disney.

Hi kids, bringing this one back from 2013!

Has anyone since then done this? I think it would be fun and I am looking for something to do on check in day.
