Archery

Archery was an ancient Arabic warfare practice. But with abundance of modern warfare equipment, the Arabs have no need for archery anymore.

Aim at the bull's eye. You may fail, but it is always worth a try. It tests your physical vigour and the keen eyesight. Walk around and you will find a relevant archery course where you can learn the traditional art.
