Security:

- Safety is paramount, the archery game is played with real equipment, bows and arrows are those used in sports, not toys!
- The so-called "long" bows would give too much power to the arrows, this is why we use a "short" model better suited to the game, this again for the sake of safety.
- Another important point in terms of safety, the arrow which can only be equipped with suitable material, glued expanded polystyrene is not enough, an archery game arrow has a special tip.
- The dimension of the neutral zone is 6 meters, so the impact force of the arrow will not be too strong.
- All players must be equipped with a protective helmet for archery game, protective helmets intended for paint ball or other games are not suitable.
- These CE archery game helmets must be kept by the player throughout the game without ever removing it.

- Do not shoot a damaged arrow, and report it directly to the referee.

Course of a game:
