Each team's objectives are to hit the opposing team members, to knock out the opposing team's five disc targets, and to defend their own targets and players. Eliminate a player by hitting him or her with an arrow, or by catching his or her arrow. Revive an eliminated teammate by hitting an opponent's target or catching an opponent's arrow. Archery Tag exists to introduce individuals to the sport of archery through a safe, fun, and unique archery experience. Cost is $10 per person and includes all equipment needed to participate.
