by Dustin Hahn

What isArchery Tag?

Similar to dodge ball, archery tag is

played with a group of individuals

with the goal of tagging each other

out. The difference is archery tag is

played with foamed tip, non-lethal

arrows instead of a dodge ball.

Archery tag does not requires

anything other than a facemask. This

is because the tips of the arrows are

are foam and the experience of

participating in archery tag has been

described as one that is virtually

painless.

How do youplay

Archery Tag?

In order to play archery tag there

needs to be teams, each consisting

of 5 players. The players must play

opposite the other and each team

has a 5-Spot Knockout Target.

The objectives of the game

are:

Hit the opponents

Knock out the five discs

of the opposing team’s

target

Players can be eliminated

by hitting another player

with their arrow or catching

the arrow of the opposing

player.

The 5-Spot Targets can also

be useful in “saving a

player’s life”. A single “hit”

can be recalled in the game

should a target spot be

knocked out or when a

teammate catches an arrow.
