Birthdays (for adults or kids!) are just one great excuse for an archery party. You can also have them for graduations, weddings and for watching archery tournaments, a la the Super Bowl (in fact, you can watch the Archery World Cup LIVE from Shanghai this weekend). In other words, hold one for any reason at all!
