How Battlezone Archery works.

Team competition, not target scoring. Your instructor explains the bows, the battlefield and the rules first.

Eliminate Opponents

A hit from an opposing foam-tipped arrow can take a player out, and losing several at once leaves your objective exposed.

Catch to Revive

Catch an opposing arrow cleanly before it touches the ground and your whole team comes back into the game.

The Crystal Skull

Reach and strike the enemy's Crystal Skull while defending your own. Balance attack and defence.

Bows Built for It

Specially designed bows and foam-tipped arrows, with instruction on holding, loading, drawing and firing under control.

Use the Buildings

27 buildings mean flanks, ambushes and routes, not just two lines walking at each other.

No Experience Needed

Complete beginners can play. Every rule is explained before the first game.
