​

This list is an overview to help you ensure you arrive at any of our sites ready and able to comply with our rules. You will be given a site-specific briefing with full safety and rule clarification before ALL events at ALL locations.
​

• Please arrive on time as there will be NO extra time allotted for coming in late

• Recommended ages for targets is 6yrs+ and combat archery 8yrs+. For our weekly game slots, we recommend these games for ages 12yrs+.  A parent or guardian must sign the waiver and provide supervision for players under the age of 16yrs. 

• To ensure the safety of players under the age of 12yrs, those aged 8-11 must book a private arena to play in.

• Minimum players per booking is 12

• In order for Archery Warfare to keep prices affordable and fun, spots can be filled up by other customers if the capacity of your booking does not reach 12

• Suitable footwear should be worn at all times – some outdoor sites may have uneven surfaces

• Players MUST remove any loose jewellery and cover any items that may cause injury or damage to equipment.

• Do not move or run in to the bunkers.

• Face Masks MUST be worn at all times when playing, that includes when you’re standing on the sideline after having been hit!

• No intentional head shots!

• Do not shoot anyone that is in the safety zone and no shooting while you are in the safety zone.

• No dry firing of the bows! (shooting without an arrow)

• Be honest! Nothing ruins a game faster than players not taking hits – help us to provide top quality Combat Archery games by being an honest player.

• A hit occurs when an arrow shot from a bow strikes a player anywhere about their person or attire – head strikes do not count.

• Ricochets do not count as hits.

• When you are hit, drop your arrow and raise your hand – depending on the game type you may stay in the game or must leave the playing field (most games allow for in game re-spawns)

• Dead players must not walk through hot areas – if the rules of the game allow re-spawns, you must move clear of any action before doing so.

• No fighting, verbal abuse or cheat calling. We don’t mind some adrenaline fuelled aggressive shouting but if you have an issue with another player seek a referee.

• Archery Warfare does not allow the use of outside bows or arrows of any kind. Only Archery Warfare bows and arrows may be used.

• Referee's decisions are final and based on safety and good intent. Any repeated unsafe actions could result in time out, or worst-case scenario ejection from the game – Safety is key!

• If you are unclear on any of these rules, or you have any questions about them, just ask one of our friendly, experienced referees.

• Please put safety above any game constraints. If you or the referee would see what you are doing as dangerous, then simply don’t do it!

• Safety and security will always take precedence over gaming!

• If the bow or arrow is broken due to negligence, misuse, dry firing, or overextending the draw length, a fine will be charged for damages.

• Archery Warfare reserves the right to store and use the information provided by every booking.

• MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVE FUN! Archery Warfare is meant to be enjoyable. The rules are here only to make sure everyone has fun in a safe manner.
