I Should Try Archery?!

According to this fun little 'quiz'' I took at blogthings.com, the Oympic sport I should most try would be archery?!
The only time I've tried my hand at this sport was back in high school in Salem, Va. My good friend Brian "Woody" Woodward, who now works for a radio station in Richmond, was in the same high school gym class that I was in, and he came close to hitting someone with a bow and arrow by accident! I wasn't quite as clumsy at archery, but I did nonetheless stink at it.
Nevertheless because I work better alone than with others, it would apparently be the one sport for me.......though I am no Green Arrow!
Here is a video from South Korean Sung Yun Park, who has won a gold medal in Beijing.



Archery is a sport that South Korea does quite well in. They have won five gold medals in archery so far.

Surprisingly enough, the best known archer in America is perhaps actress Geena Davis ("The Fly"). She even tried out for the Olympic team from what I gather.
