HOW TO BOOK

Battle Bows is a new concept in friendly combat sports. It can be played indoors or outside. Players are divided into two teams and hide behind inflatable bunkers or other obstacles and use arrows with special foam tips.

There are different styles of games like ‘GAME OF BOWS’ in which you protect the King/Queen or ‘HUNGER BOWS’ which is a race to collect equipment. With lots of games to play, the instructor will keep you on target and enjoying every minute!

Battle Bows is ideal for both hen or stag parties, or it can be run as a competition with your school or youth group in your own venue.

Virtually painless and mess free BATTLE BOWS, unlike Paintballing, is intense enough for thrill seekers yet safe enough for children to play, making this the most fun you will ever have with a bow and arrow!

The health benefits include:

  • Increased cardiovascular fitness
  • Burns an average 1500 calories per game.
  • Strengthens bones
  • Increases hand, eye co-ordination
  • Develops good communication skills and team work
