I have never really known.
In our family it has always been called 'pinging'

You know when you're an archer.....
KiSic lee, McKinney and Simon Needham surround your sleeping area like Angels watching over your sleep, and arrowcharts and tuning guides wake you up as they slide off the bed and onto the floor.
You draw concentric circles in the ash tray with your stubbed out cigarette.
Every vase in the house is home to another 'currently not being used arrow'.
You have to ask the shop assistant about weight distribution whenever you buy footwear.
Every strap, ribbon or lace looks like the next wonder sling.
You Always yawn with Proper T-form.
There's a target face pinned to the back of the toilet door.
Your first question, when your mate tells you about his new girlfriend's cute friend is ' what does she pull? '
Whilst coming up to the traffic lights, you notice they go amber ..automatically...you close one eye and hold your breath....
In conversation, every illustration alludes to 'bow & arrow'.
When kissing your date goodnight, subconciously you look for a mole near her lip....as a point of reference..trying to line her up to the tip of your nose. God forbid she actually has a mole! ...."what the hell are you dong" she asks...as you stretch and relax your chin-skin trying to center the mole between your lips...
God, Im sad...really, very sad

Thats also funny!

First time I tried a motorbike (on a private field), I forgot this slight fact and almost landed on my head! lol.

You know your an archery when - you do everything you can to attend shooting sessions at least twice a week. Even though you haven't slept in days, lol.

My 1st "You know you`re an Archer"

You know your an Archer when you drive 100 miles for a Job interview/Assesment Day
then when it finishes you realise if you make good time home you can get changed grab your gear and still get ot the club intime to shoot a around

You have so many of those Altservices(or otherwise) patches that you use them for beer coasters to keep the end tables looking nice.

I actually do this sad as it may seem.

you know you're an archer when....

you take a tape measure with you when looking for a new car to make sure your bowbox will fit in the boot...

you can approx convert yards to metres (and vice versa) in your head and not have to think too hard to do it ...

you willingly get up earlier at the weekend than you ever would during the week to get to a comp on time...

your weekend food supply regularly contains jelly babies, baby bel cheese, dried fruit, cold chiken and fruit juice...

your family and (non-archer) pals begin to forget what you look like, and the dog thinks you're an intruder when you're actually in the house !!!
