1. Archery Is An Individual Sport
This makes social distancing very easy to do! Participants can easily maintain 6 feet apart while enjoying the sport. Each participant has their own equipment, making it safer in a pandemic as there is NO sharing of equipment.
2. Archery Reduces Stress
During a pandemic, everyone is feeling stressed. When you add the stress that the constant reports of Covid numbers bring, with the uncertainty and fear of the pandemic, everyone is feeling some degree of stress and anxiety. Archery is a sport that has been proven to help reduce stress, helping both your physical and mental health.
3. Archery Increases Focus and Concentration
Covid has caused families to have to try to balance the many demands of online school, work and family. Children are trying to learn online with the many distractions at home, while parents are trying to work while being pulled in different directions. It is not surprising many are struggling with keeping their focus. Archery helps increase concentration and focusing on shooting at an archery target can be meditative.
