Hi, as many I've just recently joined lemmy comming from Reddit.

One community I've spend a lot of time over there was r/archery, which has been a great resource for the sport.

Since one can't just found a community here, I thought I first ask if there is any demand for it or if it should stay in the sports community?

Barebow archer here and also a USA Archery level 2 coach. I also spent quite a bit of time in r/archery and do miss it. I would be very interested in this.

Yep, I'm a barebow archer and I'm moving to hunting soon™

I suppose one of the best things we can do is just to start talking about it more often in the Sports community and if it gains enough traction, maybe it spins off its own community. I'll have to start doing this more often, I think!

This exactly. I had some posts in the pipeline that were meant for r/archery but I think I might as well post the here

I'll keep an eye out for those! Looking forward to seeing more. I'm a big fan of Jake Kaminsky videos, so I may drop those in the community more often.

Oooh, good point. I'll try and post something(s) instead of just lurking

I have done archery in the past. Have a compound bow for hunting but want to get back into archery as a whole for sure.

Yesss! Traditional for 3D & field archery is my thing*

*actually I'm pretty new and completely rubbish, but I've got a lot of enthusiasm!

Sorry for the late reply. Found this thread in the search of a r/archery replacement. I do shoot Olympic style archery and miss the r/archery community, the league etc. I think there is definitely demand

I used to do quite a bit of traditional target archery with a longbow. I'd love to get back into it.
