1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    If your practicing holding and doing alot of target practice it will certainly build up muscles in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and chest.

    It uses the upper back muscles a lot.

    no its not a good exercise activity..

    it is however a great sport and loads of fun but youd probably build more muscles and burn more calories playing wii tennis than practicing your archery skills..

    When I was in high school we did archery in gym class and after that I was extremely hooked and it got me really interested in it.. It's really fun and something I enjoy doing very much... Sure it's not a great form of exercise, but it does exercise your mind and your ability to concentrate and the like...
