All over the world, my guess would be people training for the olympic games. But also in any film containing archery would probably use alot of practice and computer editing
There was no official archery competition at the 1948 Olympics. On the day of the opening ceremonies there was an archery demonstration by wheelchair-bound servicemen and women injured in the war, which was one of the foundations of the modern Paralympics. The World Archery Competition was also held in London at the same time as the Olympic Games, but there was no archery competition at the Olympics until 1972. (Archery events had been held in 1900, 1904, 1908, and 1920.)
Through the 2008 Games in Beijing, no Australia woman has won a medal in archery. Australia has won two total medals in archery, a gold by Simon Fairweather in men's individual at the 2000 Games in Sydney and a bronze in men's individual by Tim Cuddihy at the 2004 Games in Athens.
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)
Archery is most popular in the US with Korea being the second runner up. The movie, The Hunger Games has greatly increased the popularity of archery in the United States.
Athletics, Swimming, and I think Archery. I'm not sure
No they cannot be paid if they compete in the Olympic games, they are amateurs until they are paid professionally, then they can no longer compete in the Olympic games.

Neroli competed in one Olympics, the 1984 Games in Los Angeles where she finished 35th in women's individual archery. She was the first paraplegic to compete at the Olympics.
