Archery- Is it a sport?

Some people classify Archery as a sport, while others do not. Some say in order for something to be a sport, you need a certain amount of physical moment that this 'sport' does not provide. However, what do you call moving your arms with heavy weights, a team that comes together just like any other, and the competitiveness? I think it is a sport, but here are some others opinions:

Do YOU think it's a sport? What about figure skating?

@EmilyN I agree with you because it is a team of people, and it is very competitive. I found a website that says that archery is a sport and is a good sport. Click here to see the website.

@Emily, it certainly takes a lot of practice and skill. I heard its recent rise in popularity can be tracked back to the Hunger Games books
