Archery involves drawing, aiming, and releasing arrows at a target, requiring significant upper body strength, core stability, and mental focus. Drawing a recurve or compound bow repeatedly works the back, shoulders, and arms with each shot. Competitive archers may shoot hundreds of arrows per session while walking back and forth to retrieve them. The sport develops remarkable shoulder stability, grip strength, and the ability to control breathing under pressure.
