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.

it can also mean

An activity providing diversion, entertainment, or fun; a pastime.

according to the oxford english dictionary

which makes it quite a bit more open ended

sport is a contractive ellision of disport, from the Latin desport meaning "to carry away," i.e. a pastime in which you get carried away, or a game with equipment you can carry around.

All dictionaries describe sports as games of athleticism and/or skill.

If you get too prescriptive of your definition then things like running, swimming, karate aren't sports because they don't have equipment you can carry, or if shooting has no "athleticism", wouldn't it be fair to say that the 100m dash has no particular "skill" and thus is also not a sport.

If that sounds too ridiculous, maybe you should reconsider your position.

Have you also considered Diogenes' "Behold - A Man!" when trying to define sports?

You’re whole “not a sport” argument is kind of messed up by the fact it’s an Olympic sport, soooo idk

You're proving that reading comprehension is a sport in which you are terrible.
