Archery Tag is a combination of paint ball, laser tag, dodge ball and traditional archery. The maximum number of participants (16) will comprise of two teams, each with an equal number of players, playing opposite each other and separated by ‘a safe zone’.

The goal of the game is to take a hit at the players and discs from the competing team.

This is a friendly game and 100% safe.

During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines.

Players take a position on their end line. Following a signal by the referee, players rush into the Neutral Zone to gather their arrows. Each team’s arrows are on their right. Players then return to their Action Zone to start shooting.

Players are ‘live’ only when in their Action Zone. They can only shoot or be shot when in their Action Zone (behind their Attack Line). Players are not allowed to shoot from the Neutral Zone and players cannot shoot at players who are in the Neutral Zone. Players in the Neutral Zone are only permitted to retrieve arrows and return immediately to their Action Zone. Players may not stall in the Neutral Zone and must return to their Action Zone within 10 seconds before a warning will be issued by the referee. A second infraction will result in a 2-point penalty at the discretion of the referee. 2-point penalties may be assessed for crossing over the opposing team’s Attack Line, stalling, shooting someone in the Neutral Zone, or being out of bounds.

If teams have more than 4 players, they can substitute players only between periods.

The only timeouts are for equipment safety issues and injured players. On the rare occasion of an injury, immediately notify the referee to stop play and attend to the injured player.

Players are to respect and adhere to the decisions of the referee at all times. Safety glasses must be worn during game play. Respect all players. Bows and arrows are to be used only as intended for game play. Under no circumstance are bows or arrows to be used as a shield, or to knock arrows out of the air. Violent or disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated. Obscene language and/or gestures will not be tolerated.
