Why has archery never been popular?

As a small fan who has finished 1 year, let me briefly say:

1. The circle is too small. There are about 500,000 people in my city, and there are two arrow halls with less than 200 members. No more than 10 people really play well (the competitions above the provincial level are ranked).

2, the threshold is too high, the composite bow accessories are not counted, and the bare bow is about 7000, which is still low-end. Add sight (more than 2000), stabilizer (1000) and manual dispersion (500- 1000), and the cost can be calculated. Well, if we don't make a composite, recurve bow 2000 will go up, and the traditional 1500 will go up. These are all entry-level devices. It is the price of these equipment that has blocked many people. Don't say that Taobao is cheap, and even that kind of bow can't be used. If something happens to the broken bow arm, it won't be a question of money.

3, the maintenance fee is too high: the most expensive is the tail wing of the arrow. Generally, it will fall off after being fired for about 5 times. The fallen tail wing can no longer be used and must be replaced. A box of tail wings costs about 400 yuan, with 50 yuan inside. You have to calculate the cost. The arrow used in traditional bow is feather tail, which is more expensive, but it is not clear how much it costs if you don't play traditional bow.

4. If the game setting is high, you can't find a low one. Ordinary people can't participate in provincial and national competitions at all. Low-level competitions are organized by Arrow Pavilion (club), just like playing house, which is boring.
