Archery is one of the fastest growing popular sports. This sport has particularly become popular in young girls. This is mostly because of the movies that portrayed female archers. Some of the recent movies include Mockingbird: The Hunger Games, and Brave. Some of the male archer movies include: Robin Hood and The Avengers. With archery being shown in movies its also like advertising and growing interest to the sport. Archery may not be popular now in The United States but it is very popular in other countries. Archery is to Korea as Football is to America, is a correct analogy to how popular archery is in Korea. Also for archery in the US about 70% of the archers here have Korean heritage. Not only is the amout of archers extremely different but the amount of practice also. While most archers here in the US get about 15 hours a week most Koreans get about 42 hours a week. Americans average about two to three hours of practice a day while Korenas get five to six a day. Crazy right,another difference is the time in which we start. Most kids in the US started from the ages 7-12 while most Koreans starts at the early age of 3-5. This is the differece between American and Korean archers.
