Archery ranges are usually away from the madding crowd in a quiet, relaxing spot. It is a healthy sport with rarely an injury. Medical people, above all orthopaedic specialists, confirm that archery seldomly gives rise to spinal problems, as the muscles are strengthened by the sport and this helps to ward off these problems. Archery is an ideal sport for the handicapped and is often recommended as a therapy.

Apart from its influence on physical strain, archery demands mental stability. An archer needs a relaxed and concentrated state of mind to be able to hit the target.
