A big reason for my considering archery is that I can practice shooting in my back yard unlike a rifle, shotgun or handgun where I have to drive to a range.
To hunt with rifle, I usually have to drive an hour to two out of the city whereas with a bow, I could slip into any back wood lot.
There's also alot of local shooting events I can attend. There are indoor and outdoor ranges as well.
I'm also becoming more of shooter than a hunter due to work limitations, etc. So I'm shooting the bow for fun as much as anything else plus it's good excercise building strength and stamina.
Also where I currently live it's shotgun area for whitetail and I'd rather hunt with a bow in that case.
