We have a variety of game modes and you will experience anywhere from 4 to 7 of them during your session. If you have ever played dodgeball you will find some of them familiar. Our most simple elimination style game has two teams face off on one half of the court and try to eliminate all players on the opposing team by hitting them with arrows.
We also have turncoat where a player hit with an arrow will join the opposing team. In every archer for themselves you are free to switch sides but can only shoot archers on the opposite side of the arena.

Our arrows have a large foam cushion on the end and our bows have a low draw-weight. Getting hit feels a bit like being hit with something a bit softer than a tennis ball. You will also be wearing a facemask to protect your eyes and face. For most players very few hits will cause any degree of pain. As with any physical activity, the chance for injury exists but we have taken steps to make our combat archery experience safe for players as young as 8 years old.
We use Bear Archery Crusader bows which have a draw weight of 10-18 lbs. These bows are able to fire our arrows across the entire length of our 80 foot long arena but not at a speed which would be likely cause pain to our guests when they are hit. For kids games we use Bear Archery First Shot bows suitable for ages 4 & up.
No. In order to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all players only our own bows can be used in the arena.
Our arrows have a large foam “marshmallow” looking foam pad on the end to protect everyone when they get hit.
Our masks are sterilized with bacteria killing agent between each usage. Our staff and ownership uses the same masks from the same “Clean Mask” bin as all of our customers. We wouldn’t ask our customers to put something on their face that we wouldn’t put on our own faces.
