what is it about the sport that makes people obsess over it, I know a dozen or so archers that started same time as me and they're all infatuated by the hobby. Is it the mix of the traditional and high tech, the thrill of hitting the mark or something a bit more instinctive? Perhaps the hunter gatherer coming out in all of us?

Ye Gods! Does 18 months make me a veteran? That means some of our more experienced members fist took up the sport somewhere around the book of Job.

Not sure how to answer this one exactly. I started > 10 years ago, but had a break & have been back shooting for about 4 years.
"Quite a long time" wasn't an option.

Come on Dave, give us a clue as to how long Archery has been in existence.
