10 QUOTES WITH «ARCHERY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word archery.
1
John Barrowman
I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery, and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot.
2
Geena Davis
Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.
3
Im Dong-Hyun
Archery requires very sensitive muscles.
4
Im Dong-Hyun
Archery is not a sport for everyone. The equipment costs a lot, and it is not easy for everyone to find a place to play. It is perhaps similar to golf, but of course there are more golf courses than archery fields.
5
Im Dong-Hyun
I used to play football at school, and I enjoyed really physical sports, but I now try to avoid any sports that might build up different muscles. That might have a negative impact on my archery.
6
Jennifer Lawrence
I've done archery for about six weeks, and rock climbing, tree climbing - and combat, running and vaulting. But also yoga and things like that, to stay catlike!
7
Miranda Leek
In piano, if you try to force hitting this key and that key, it's very broken. It's not pretty. When you're in archery, you can't try to force it step-by-step-by-step. Then the shot doesn't flow and it's not a good shot. If you just let the performance flow, it's really beautiful.
8
Miranda Leek
My dad keeps referring to me playing the piano when he's trying to teach me something in archery.
9
Rose Leslie
I do love archery in my day-to-day life because I find it very therapeutic, and I've trained every season with the bow and arrow.
10
Norm MacDonald
I miss seeing real comics, Shecky Greene and Buddy Hackett, those types. I like straight stand-up, talking about the Olympics and why I feel obligated to watch them. 'Why am I watching archery at 4 in the afternoon?'
