Adrenaline pumping archery experience...

Fast and furiously fun, Combat Archery is a brand new game that brings together the skill of archery with the pace and excitement of Dodgeball and Paintball.

Using specially made bows and foam tip arrows, two teams (of up to ten) score points by eliminating opponents and targets.

The purpose built pitch contains 5 bunkers to hide behind and 5 target cones, which are placed in front of each bunker. Separated by a neutral zone, teams must stay on their side of the field as they shoot it out for victory.

Each game lasts for up to 10 minutes, and ends when either all team members are eliminated, all 5 target cones have been hit, or time runs out. Once the game is finished, the scores are added up, and the teams swap ends. If a player catches an arrow, they can bring one of their eliminated players back into the game.

Put your hunting skills to the test with this action-packed, adrenaline pumping archery experience…

Combat Archery FAQs

 

What is Combat Archery?

Combat Archery is a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping experience combining the accuracy and skill of archery with the competitive excitement of Dodgeball and Paintball. Using specially designed bows and foam-tipped arrows, your team will go head-to-head in a lively battle where quick reactions, good aim, and clever tactics can make all the difference. It is an exciting choice for corporate team building activities with a competitive twist.

How does Combat Archery work?

Your group will be divided into teams before taking to our purpose-built playing area. Teams score points by eliminating opposing players and hitting designated targets. With bunkers providing places to hide and a neutral zone separating the two sides, you will need to communicate, plan your attacks, and keep moving to claim victory.

How many people can take part in Combat Archery?

We recommend Combat Archery for groups of 6 to 28 guests. This makes it particularly suitable for smaller and medium-sized team building days, giving everyone plenty of opportunities to get involved rather than spending the event watching from the sidelines.

How long does the Combat Archery activity last?

The complete Combat Archery experience usually lasts between one and two hours, depending on your group and event arrangements. Individual games last for up to ten minutes, keeping each round short, energetic, and engaging.

What equipment is used during Combat Archery?

Your team will use specially made bows and foam-tipped arrows designed for the activity. The playing area also features five bunkers and five target cones, creating an entertaining battlefield where players can combine accurate shooting with tactical positioning.

How do you win a game of Combat Archery?

Your objective is to score points by eliminating opposing players and hitting targets. Teams remain on their respective sides of the playing field, separated by a neutral zone, while attempting to outmanoeuvre and outshoot their opponents. Once a game finishes, the scores are calculated and the teams swap ends.

Can eliminated players return to the game?

Yes, and this adds an exciting tactical element. If a player successfully catches an arrow, one eliminated member of their team can return to the game. A brilliant catch could therefore completely change the direction of a match and keep everyone invested until the final moments.

Is Combat Archery suitable for corporate groups?

Combat Archery is an excellent addition to corporate team building activities because it encourages teamwork, communication, and tactical thinking in an energetic environment. Colleagues can work together in a completely different setting, creating memorable shared experiences while enjoying plenty of friendly competition.

Why choose Combat Archery for team building days?

Combat Archery gives your team building days out instant energy. Rather than relying on lengthy challenges or complicated rules, the activity quickly gets colleagues moving, communicating, and working towards a shared goal. The short games also help to maintain excitement and give teams opportunities to rethink their tactics between rounds.

Do you need archery experience to take part?

Previous archery experience is not required to enjoy the competitive spirit of Combat Archery. The emphasis is on getting involved, having fun, and working effectively with your teammates, making it an approachable option when your group contains people with different experience levels.

Is Combat Archery played indoors or outdoors?

Combat Archery is an outdoor activity, making it a great option for groups wanting to escape the usual workplace environment and enjoy something more energetic in the fresh air. It can add a memorable, action-packed element to outdoor corporate team building activities.

What skills does Combat Archery encourage?

Your team will need communication, awareness, strategy, and quick decision-making. Players can coordinate attacks, protect teammates, and decide when to target opponents or aim for the cones. These elements make Combat Archery entertaining while providing natural opportunities for collaboration during team building days.

Will everyone have an opportunity to participate?

The format is designed to keep your group actively involved. Short rounds and team-based gameplay create plenty of opportunities to participate, strategise, and support colleagues. Even elimination does not necessarily mean the end of your game, as a teammate catching an arrow could bring you straight back into the action.

Where can Combat Archery events take place?

Combat Archery is available for both UK-based and international destinations, providing flexibility for businesses planning events beyond a single local area. Our event experts can discuss your approximate location, group requirements, and plans to help determine the right arrangements for your event.

What makes Combat Archery different from traditional archery?

Traditional archery is largely focused on hitting a stationary target. Combat Archery introduces opponents, bunkers, tactical movement, and team objectives, creating a much faster experience. It combines shooting accuracy with the pace and excitement associated with Dodgeball and Paintball, resulting in something distinctly different from a conventional archery session.
