Hunger Games starlet Jennifer Lawrence may have inspired a new offbeat trend with her character Katniss Everdeen's incredible survival skills - apparently archery is new all-the rage activity! Not one to shy away from picking up new skills, Jennifer learned how to use a bow and arrow by training with an Olympic archer for the film and recently showed off her amazing archery abilities on El Hormiguero, a Spanish talk show.
"There's a lot of buzz among young people about archery right now. They want to shoot bows and arrows so badly they're willing to follow the rules" said Roy Grimes, president of the The National Archery in the Schools Program.
Since the debut of the film there has been a steady increase in the sale of archery bows and enrollment in archery lessons.
"We're thrilled with the awareness and the excitement that The Hunger Games has brought to the sport of archery," said Denise Parker, CEO of USA Archery.
Will you be picking up a bow and arrow this summer?
