Apparently the Hunger Games has done more to promote Archery than the Olympics.
Saying that, during and after the Olympics - beginners course for Archery were full and extra sessions were put on to meet demand.
Maybe we will do better in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics - !!!
I'll do my best to get people there.

I'm sure we had a very able archer here in Clayton le moor...her first name was Barbara, but her last name escapes me right now(the grey cells are chasing round right now looking for the answer 
)

We have several good junior Archers throughout Lancashire - unfortunately they do not get the right guidance, help and support to get them to the Elite stage.
Very few schools will run archery and no-body really knows much about it - that is why I decided to team up with Accrington Academy and to start some threads on here - just to let people know there are other sports outside of Football, Rugby, Cricket, and Tennis that is available to them.
Most people can name 5 footballers - even if they do not follow the sport - how many can name 3 Archers who have represented us in the Olympics over the past 20 years.

It has come to me...the lady was called Barbara Fielding......she lived down Barnes Street,
Robin Hood, William Tell & Legolas.
Pat Archer, Helen Archer, Tom Archer, Tony Archer.
That's another four!
See, Ski, we know more Archers than you thought!
She once brought her bow into the Stop and Rest, well I say bow, it were nout like sitting bull used
Most of the Stark family in Game of Thrones can use a bow and arrow
Getting back on thread, before Ski gets upset, I thought of taking up archery when they took my handguns off me. Another form of target shooting and I worked with a guy who was well up in it.
Somehow it didn't have the same appeal as handgun shooting. A bow and arrow didn't have the beautiful engineering of a gun and seemed crude by comparison.
But I sometimes wish I'd tried it.

That convict Ronnie Barker played, he was an archer...
...no, hang on, he was a Fletcher.
He counts, Less. Without Fletchers there wouldn't be any Archers.
No I don't think he does count, no archer would have the strength for a five year stretch.
Love the comments - Unfortunately William Tell used a Cross Bow – hence not classified as an Archer – He was an arbalest. I don’t intend to be mean – but no points sorry.
As for the rest, I did ask for Olympic Archers – therefore you have not read the question correctly and have gained zero points.
Looks like I have to keep the prize money….
(Such a shame)
