Combat archery in Birmingham
What is tag archery?
Players use specially designed bows and foam-tipped arrows to tag opponents out while diving behind inflatable bunkers, dodging incoming arrows and working together as a team.
It's fast-paced, strategic and incredibly fun, and no previous archery experience is needed. We provide all the equipment, full instruction and run the event from start to finish.

Good to know
Does it hurt?
Our strong foam-tipped arrows hit about as hard as a dodgeball, or less. The bows are powerful enough for indoor play but not enough to particularly hurt. Everyone wears high-quality masks and arm guards, and they stay on at all times.
Who can play?
Adults and children alike. Child trials are for ages 8–15 and are free; adult trials are for ages 16+ and cost £30. For other session types, children's sessions are for ages 8+ and adult sessions for ages 14+. You need to be in good physical condition, and we can't let you play if you're pregnant. Every player must read and sign our online waiver before playing.
How do the games work?
We start with full training. Game modes build from simple target shooting to full games against each other with equipment and bunkers, including our own games like Last Man Standing, 1v1s and Protection, where you guard a team-mate carrying a shield. The games get more exciting as the session goes on, and a champion is crowned at the end.
