Archery Day is celebrated on the second Saturday of May and was founded by The National Archery in the Schools Program. This day encourages individuals to engage in archery, a sport that combines precision, athleticism, and quick reflexes. Participants are motivated to try archery for the first time or return to the sport after a hiatus. The celebration highlights the benefits of archery, such as improved focus and increased self-confidence, and can be enjoyed both individually and socially. Archery has gained renewed interest in pop culture, influenced by characters like Katniss Everdeen from "The Hunger Games." The inaugural Archery Day took place in 2015, coinciding with an annual school tournament.
