Bow and Arrow games at events usually use safe, child-friendly equipment to let people try archery. Instead of sharp arrows, these games often use arrows with suction cups or soft tips. The bows are usually simple and easy to use. Players aim at colourful targets set up a short distance away. It’s a chance for people to feel like Robin Hood or Katniss Everdeen while staying safe and having fun.
How?
Set up targets at a safe distance – these could be bullseye boards or balloon targets. Give each player a bow and a set number of safe arrows. Show them how to hold the bow, nock the arrow (that means put it in place), and pull back the string. Remind them about safety rules, like never pointing the bow at people. Let players take turns shooting at the targets. You can keep score based on where the arrows hit or just let people enjoy the experience of shooting.

Develops focus, patience, and hand-eye coordination.
A unique and adventurous attraction, distinct from typical party games.
