Zombie Apocalypse Training explained

The basics, in plain English.

Zombie Apocalypse Training is a two-hour survival challenge created at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park. You learn air rifle shooting, archery and axe throwing, then your scores become your personal Zombie Survival Percentage.

£50 per person for a private two-hour session, ages 12+ (School Year 7), groups of 4 to 15.

It’s funny and competitive, not frightening. There are no actors chasing you.

The three disciplines.

  • Air riflesSafe handling, position, sight alignment, breathing and trigger control. Rewards calm over confidence.
  • ArcheryStance, draw, anchor point, aim and release. It can completely change the leaderboard.
  • Axe throwingGrip, stance, distance and release. Some stick it straight away; some bounce it off with enthusiasm.

How your score works.

Zombie targets on the range

Every discipline follows the same pattern: safety briefing, demonstration, tuition, practice, then scored competition. Scores only count after you’ve practised.

Your best three scoring rounds from archery and axe throwing are combined with your air rifle score. That becomes your Zombie Survival Percentage, printed on a personalised certificate.
