What is Archery Tag?

Archery Tag (a.k.a Combat Archery) is a sport similar to dodgeball in which participants shoot one another using bows and foam tipped arrows which are non-lethal. Archery Tag is a fast paced sport which requires a lot of dynamic movement, clever decision making and teamwork to win the game cooperatively. Players can expect to have a great team bonding experience with us at The Archertype as well as release their inner Katniss Everdeen or Hawkeye!
