Archery Tag!
Known as combat archery, this is a game where you get to shoot arrows at your friends! We use specially designed foam-tipped arrows, which alongside a safety helmet allows you to safely fire at other people. Archery meets dodgeball, a sort of medieval archery version of paintball. The aim of the game is to hit your opponent with an arrow to eliminate them from the game. There is a safety briefing at the beginning of the session to explain how to safely shoot.
These sessions require a minimum of 6 people booking, a maximum of groups of 12, archery tag is the perfect activity for large groups of friends, as well as birthday parties, stags, hens, and corporate staff parties! As well as our dodge ball style game there are additional games like duels, that aren’t possible with regular target archery for safety reasons. You can even try and shoot an apple off of someones head!
click below for available sessions. We would recommend archery tag for 12+ years. Younger age groups can struggle with the technical aspect of archery without prior experience.
Archery Tag sessions start with a safety briefing, and all participants have an arm guard and a safety helmet to be worn during a session. The special design of the lightweight foam tipped arrows allows them to be safely shot at people. It’s a bit like being hit by a tennis ball. This is a physical activity like Dodgeball and paintball so the aim of the game is to avoid being hit, and some hits will be worse than others. But if you can withstand a game of tennis, you can cope with an active session of archery tag!
