As much as archery appeals to the Renaissance Festival attending, fantasy game playing, Lord of the Rings fan boy nerd within me it probably isn't the most effective thing to do to get rid of back pain, not to mention that archery isn't a very accessible hobby for most people due to needing somewhere to shoot.
Yoga, going for a jog or swim, doing pull ups on an exercise bar, or doing pretty much any exercise which involves getting up from the computer periodically and doing something with your upper body will help with back pain, and probably be much easier and more accessible.
Archery definitely does have that fun appeal though.
- leonvonblut 14y agoArchery is an accessible hobby, It's just an urban legend that isn't accessible, you need only five meter to practise effective archery. Then you can contact an archery association near to you, we are everywhere.
- NathanKP 14y agoInteresting. The times I've experimented with serious bows at Renaissance Festivals gave me a healthy respect for their power. I would be too afraid to shoot one in my backyard for fear that if I missed the target I could shoot through my fence or over it and do some damage to the neighbor's house or maybe injure someone. But maybe the solution is to just use a less powerful bow for fun.
