What do beginning archers need to do before they begin to practice archery?

The first thing the beginning archer should do is find someone who will teach them proper Archery safety, technique and practices. The best place to find that person is at a local archery club, such as those which are certified by the U.S. Olympic Archery Committee (USA Archery) in the U.S.A or the British Grand National Archery Society in Great Britain.
For those who are not interested in Olympic style archery, there are many other clubs, organizations and societies which concentrate on the other styles of archery, such as the English Field Archery Association (Great Britain) and the National Field Archery Association (U.S.A.), as well as the Society for Creative Anachronisms, Inc. (an International Society dedicated to Education, Research and Re-Creation of the Mediaeval Period of History).
Most organizations and societies do require payment of dues and/or fees, so be prepared.

When did archery become an Olympic sport?
Archery was a sport all the way back in medieval times, and perhaps all the back in ancient times. People trained in various ways and especially in Medieval England, laws were passed to make archery practice mandatory, so people made sports and competitive events to turn the frustrating law into something fun, there are many examples of sport types that involved archery such as: - Standard archery rounds such as Portsmouth rounds (like you'd see on a Robin Hood movie or something similar) - Clout shooting (shoot as close as possible to a flag off in the distance) - Coconut shy equivalent (shooting at various small objects which simulate French heads!) - William Tell challenge (one unfortunate soul has an apple shot off of his head!) - Splitting the wand (a broomstick size pole in the ground has to be shot at and split, this is harder than it sounds) - Flight shooting (shoot as far as possible, simple as that) - Hunting challenges (this one is more of a guess, but it is quite easy to imagine happening) ... And a few more I cannot remember. The point is, archery has been a sport for a very long time, and I didn't even mention before that the Greeks probably had archery as an Olympic event, since they invented it, and archery usage was common practice back then as well. (NOTE: I am a real archer and I am an expert on the subject)

I've played the trombone before with my School's band. I have to say that I personally hated the beginning on trombone, but if you practice it, you'll get through it just fine. The rest of the piece has some rewarding moments.

Where can archery be played?
Archery can be "played" in almost any field (archery isn't really "played", as with football or baseball, though; archery is "done"), but it is usually done at what is called an archery range. A range is where a series of targets are set up at various distances from the archer, and all the archers using the range shoot from the same place (or line). This way, one archer will not be shooting while another archer is in front of him/her, eliminating the possibility of someone being shot with an arrow. Ranges can be set up both outdoors and a in building, so that archery can be done year-round.

How was the longbow used?
English medieval bows, including longbows, were used for archery practice, in hunting and in warfare. Archery practice was held in almost every town and village, generally after church on Sundays but also at other times. Areas known as "butts" were reserved solely for archery practice - these had an earth bank serving to stop the arrows and initially targets consisted of garlands (rings of interwoven twigs), wands (upright twigs set in the ground) or "marks" on pieces of timber or cloth. Later modern-style round archery targets of straw were used, but not until the 13th century. Many English towns still have areas today known as "The Butts", preserving the sites of archery ranges of the middle ages. Aristocratic noblemen used longbows in hunting deer and wild boar across areas designated as "forest" - a legal term for any kind of terrain which was out of bounds to the public and used only for hunting. In warfare, non-noble archers would form the front rank of the army, often in blocks with armoured knights in between and behind them. As a protection against enemy cavalry, archers from the 1300s onwards often stuck sharpened stakes into the ground, slanting forwards at chest-height to a horse. The longbow first has to be "braced", meaning that the normally loose linen string has to be fitted into the nocks or grooves at each end of the bow. To do this the archer could step through the bow and use the power of his leg muscles to bend the bow while pushing the string into place. He would then take a sheaf of arrows (normally 24) and stick them all in the ground in front of him - the Hollywood idea of medieval archers having quivers for carrying arrows is total nonsense. The arrows would be tall enough for him to reach easily without bending or moving his feet. Young boys often had the task of carrying forward more arrows from supply carts in the rear and these would also be stuck in the ground. Taking an arrow, the archer would await the signal for everyone to prepare - this might be a trumpet or waving flag. He would fit the arrow to the bowstring and judge the distance to the enemy line, drawing the bowstring to his cheek or just behind his ear. All the archers would loose arrows together in a volley, immediately pulling another arrow from the ground and fitting it for the next shot. Experience would tell the archer how high to aim for the distance required; this would get lower and lower as the enemy approached. If enemy infantry got very close, the knights protecting the archers would move forward to engage with them before they could reach the archers, who generally had little or no armour.
Is there a practice test that I need to take before the actual test itself?
It is possible to take a practice test on http://www.aswb.org/SWLE/onlinepracexams.asp which should help you to prepare for your test. However it costs $75 and only allows you to take the test once so prepare properly before beginning.
