How-To Share:

When you pull back a bowstring, feel the bow’s power, and unleash all that energy by releasing the arrow, it’s an amazing feeling. Even better? Trying fun archery games that test your skills and put a smile on your face!

Whether you’re brand new to archery and looking for a fun game to try, or you’re just looking to spice up your practice sessions a bit, look no further. Here are 10 ways to make the best sport even better – and improve your accuracy!

Floating pingpong ball

The archer in the video above used a few different items to build his floating target, but realistically, you’ll need a pingpong ball and a Shop-Vac; that’s it. Use the Shop-Vac’s “reverse” setting to put that pingpong ball in midair and keep it floating. Now, try shooting it. It’s harder than you think!

Super shatter

Old-fashioned glass Christmas ornaments shatter with a super-satisfying pop when arrowed! Of course, glass shards can be dangerous, so be sure your target is at least 20 yards away. Also be sure to place it where you can clean up the mess before anyone walks by.

Popping Balloons

One of the most fun – and easiest – archery games to set up. EVERYONE loves to pop balloons, no matter what their age. Blow them up, hang them on the target, and pop away!

Glitter Bombs

This is a popular activity at novelty shoots, and it’s no wonder why. Putting glitter into a balloon and shooting it causes sparkles and light all around the target.

Colored Explosions

Yep, balloons again, but this time fill them with cornstarch and food coloring to make colorful explosions around your target! Bonus points: Mount a GoPro and see what those colorful splashes do in slow-mo.

Burning Bright

Caution: This is an expert-level trick! Shooting out a candle flame is best done by an expert archer who is accurate and sighted in. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand, keep the area free of flammable objects, and have a partner to help.

Fruit Shoot

There’s nothing like the satisfaction of splitting an apple – or thumping a pumpkin, or just about any kind of fruit – with an arrow! Just be sure you’re ready to clean up the juicy, sticky mess you’ll create.

Split the Arrow Challenge

Golden Gate JOAD – short for Junior Olympic Archery Development – shares this tip on their website: Attach a cardboard tube a foot or so long to the center of an archery target so it sticks out of the center. You can dress up the tube with fletchings to look like an arrow. Archers must shoot down the center of the tube to win.

Tiny Candy Shoot

The Explore Archery program gives archers a chance to win sweets – and arrow tiny targets – by shooting at pieces of candy. This can be one of the most fun – and competitive – archery games out there (depending on your sweet tooth!). To put your skills to a big challenge, try splitting a tiny Lifesaver.

Piñata Time!

Piñatas can be a great way to make group practice more fun, especially when there’s a birthday to celebrate. Just be sure to use older arrows, because shooting the piñata can cause some damage. Take turns shooting to make candy rain!

  • : Press the B button to initiate the launch of the clay pigeon.

Game Pigeon Archery Tips

In this event, you must successfully shoot as many clay pigeons as possible. You are given 40 attempts, with ten pigeons divided among four sets.

Game Pigeon Archery Tips

When you are ready, press to launch the next pigeon into the air. The angle of the pigeon is determined at random, so you cannot precisely predict the trajectory it will start with.

Use the direction pad to move the on-screen cross-hairs into position, and press to pull the trigger on your rifle. If the pigeon resides within the cross-hairs when you shoot, the pigeon will be destroyed. You get two bullets per pigeon, so if you miss with the first bullet, you still have another opportunity to fire upon it before it falls in the distance.

Tips[edit]

  • The cross-hairs move horizontally much more quickly than they do vertically. Try to restrict the motion of the cross-hairs to moving left and right, and only move up and down if necessary. The cross-hairs return to the same position at the start of each shot.
  • Watch the motion of the pigeon as soon as you fire it. Do not try to position the cross-hairs where the pigeon is at the moment, but rather where you believe it is going to be. Wait for the pigeon to reach that location, and then fire when it does.
  • The pigeons are more visible, and therefore easier to hit, when they are closer to the shooter. However, although they get smaller as they get farther, their relative motion on the screen slows down, making them slightly easier to predict.
