> I wouldn't describe Archery as "low cost"

Obviously the range is very broad, but around my parts you can get away with archery for about ~15 EUR per person (and up). That's not very expensive. What is "low cost" also obviously depends on the person.

Yup. About $20 USD where I grew up, with several archery ranges at public parks. I’d probably spring $20 for a few more niceties.

Having bought basic archery gear for 3 people in the last year, unless you're talking about a toy longbow, $20 is not going to get you anywhere. Even buying the absolute necessities for a basic barebow recurve setup, let's list things off:

Riser, plunger, arrow rest, limbs, string, arrows, finger tab. That's the absolute bare minimum. You'll also probably want an arm guard unless you don't value your forearms. You can't do this for less than US$150-$200, unless you find someone basically giving away second hand equipment.

They're talking about rental archery, aka. "I give you $20 and in turn can use your bow and arrow for an hour."
