Another way to enjoy archery as a tourist is to visit various art galleries abroad and look for art pieces containing samples of archery from specific time periods.
Sadly sometimes the artists don't know squat about archery and make mistakes, but othertimes they sometimes display an extreme attention to detail - giving up a sneak peak into archery's historical part.
