Why You Need to Try Combat Archery in Cincinnati

I’m always on the quest to find unique adventures and experiences which is why I HAD to check out combat archery at Archery Arena in Cincinnati. 

What is Combat Archery?

Combat archery is similar to dodgeball and paintball but you are using foam-tipped arrows to tag each other.

How do you play?

At Archery Arena you get 15 minutes of training followed by 60 minutes of gameplay creating a 75-minute session.

The more people, the more fun, in my opinion. Groups will have the opportunity to play a few different types of games and it’s fun for ALL ages.

You don’t need prior experience before playing and you will be given a face mask, bow, and a forearm protector to use during the game.

Combat Archery is all about strategy…several of the games start off similar to a game of dodgeball…but you are racing for foam tip arrows in the center of the room instead…and you better be fast at something…either ducking or shooting….or you’ll be out…but don’t worry you will still get plenty of playing time even if you do get out early in a game.

Our group ages ranged from 10 – 50+…..and the adults won more than the kids in the challenges….I feel like that’s really important to share…because we actually WON and they had youth on their side!

Does it hurt?

No, the only thing that will hurt is your ego if you get hit. Seriously, it’s not painful. The “tip” of the arrow is made of foam.
