LotR helps archery’s shooting success
The Lord of the Rings – and particularly the character of Legolas – has helped the sport of archery to soar in popularity over the past year or two. An article at This is Guernsey about an archery competition in the Channel Islands discusses how this year’s competition has experienced an influx of competitors, largely due to juniors wanting to emulate Legolas.

I did archery when I was young. My exhusband and I were menbers of a great archery club. We went out in the range and practiced at least twice a week, and were in cometitions over the weekends. It was a lot of fun. I don’t do it any more, not strong enouph. It is a wonderful sport to get into.
