Archery Games

Archery schools are expecting to see a spurge of new students because of the release of the latest installment of the Hunger Games. 

It's common for archery to rise after a movie is released featuring a favourite character that specializes in archery. A similar spike happened after the release of the Lord of the Ring movies back in 2002.

This time there is a higher spike of young females taking an interest in the sport. This is not surprising considering the star of the Hunger Games is the young and attractive Jennifer Lawrence. Most of the sales rising for bows are more traditional hunting bows, similar to the ones that Katniss Everdeen initially uses.

Young girls practicing archery prior to the release of Catching Fire showed off their archery skills. Hundred of girl scouts gathered in Shelby the weekend of the release. This is the location where the first movie was filmed.
