It is said that 'The Hunger Games' has sparked an archery pop culture movement. Films such as the Disney-Pixar animated movie 'a forthcoming Disney-Pixar animated movieBrave', centers around a red-headed princess named Merida whose archery skills help her battle an evil lord. Many TV shows are also centered around archery such as 'Arrow' which tells the tale of a spoiled billionaire playboy named Oliver Queen who goes missing and is presumed dead when his yacht is lost at sea. He returns five years later a changed man, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow. The infamous HBO series 'Game of Thrones' where several noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros, also includes combat archery.
A recent Parade magazine cover story on 'The Hunger Games' also noted that USA Archery, the national association focused on the sport, has seen a 161% growth in its Facebook fans over the past 15 months, again, primarily because of Katniss.
