So archery is a sport because it requires effort, but the effort isn't the part that makes archery hard? Olympic archers don't struggle with pulling the bowstring, they struggle with aiming the bow to get fractions of a point.
If they ran a lap in between shots during the shooting sports would you call that a sport?
I have, quite a lot, and I would hardly classify the act as particularly athletic.

Is archery not a sport then? Or say, golf?
Someone has never pulled a bowstring before
