According to a recent U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey, 101.6 million Americans (40% of the entire population) participated in hunting, fishing, and wildlife activities in 2016. Archery is one of the most popular outdoor activities and can be fun for people of all ages. However, whether you’re shooting a stationary target at a range or are hunting in the woods, target panic is a very real problem and it can lead to a stressful and unsuccessful career as an archer.

Archery might seem dangerous from afar, but it's actually quite safe, provided you know what you are doing and are being as careful as possible. In fact, according to recent National Safety Council statistics, archery is more than three times safer than golf, with just one injury for every 2,000 participants.

Archery can be a lot of fun for archers of all ages, sizes, and skill levels. Whether you’re planning on going out to a range once or twice a year or plan on practicing as much as possible for future archery tournaments, it’s important to know what you’re getting yourself into.
