1.  Focus 
Learning to shoot will help you to develop focus and be able to tune out distractions.

2. Strength
Archery strengthens your arms, core, hands, chest and shoulders.

3.  Co-ordination
Practicing archery builds muscles memory as shooting becomes instinctive.

4.  Exercise

Walking to retrieve arrows or between targets on a 3D/Field Archery course adds to the calories burned.

5.  Confidence
Archery is not only about hitting bull's eyes.  Shooting a bow and improving form with practice builds self-esteem.

Releasing an arrow, watching it fly and hearing it strike the target is exhilarating and a great stress release.
