| Archery is good medicine I've been knackered for days. Not feeling quite right, but not exactly under the weather. I ache all over, tired, lethargic and for no apparent reason. So this evening came and I just didn't feel like lugging my kit on the bus to go shoot. But it was sunny, and I was expecting to receive my Stag Awards tonight, so I thought, "I'll go down and shoot for an hour and leave". But after shooting an end, I was refreshed, awake, happy and felt great. I got home at nine and could feel the happy archery energy slowly leaking out of my system. I feel knackered again. Which leads me to believe that archery is good for the body, mind and spirit! I wish the NHS would prescribe me a big fat daily dose of archery!

| Why do you need the NHS? Prescribe it yourself!

| Archery is a drug and we're all dependant addicts.

| It is a fact that if you are feeling flat (we had a full moon recently) sport/physical activity lifts the well being of the mind and body. I for one if feeling tense/frustrated even tired, will take mayself off to walk for a couple of hours on a remote part of Dartmoor. Whilst the legs feel heavy to start the walk, after two hours I feel refreshed, alert and ready for my pint and packet of cheese and onion crisps at a pub on the way back. Sleep very well too. I guess archery is as good as anything else, a walk and some physical activity. |

| I agree with you there, Archery is definitely my "upper" too! Plus, on archery days I definitely get a better sleep than any other day! Must be all that fresh air!

| I've found that shooting helps me relax and to forget about the worries of every day life. On a good day I'm relaxed and over the moon with my results, on a bad day I'm relaxed and happy to have been shooting. I wonder if there's such a thing as an archers high as there is with runners? Where endorphins are produced which counterract pain and tiredness (amongst other things). T.
