Archery Tournament Shows “Hunger Games Effect”

The Indianapolis Star says the recent indoor youth archery tournament was the largest in state history. Nearly half of the 1600 participants were girls - up from fewer than 25 percent just a few years ago. The bow wielding heroines in “The Hunger Games” and Disney’s “Brave” are being cited as big factors in the increase in interest in archery among girls.
