The Tension of the Bow and Arrow
Shooting at a target is only one aspect of archery. It’s about honing your concentration, putting your coordination to the test, and experiencing the rush of striking the target. For those who came for team building but are tired of team tasks, imagine standing alone with a taut bow and arrow, focusing on a target that could represent anything you imagine. The world narrows down to just you and your goal which is hitting the bullseye with precision and grace. You’re in control of the victory!
But don’t worry, you don’t need to be as skilled as Robin Hood to win. Those with a steady hand, sharp eye, and the determination to succeed will have the edge. The key is concentration, a bit of practice, and breath control. Do you have the discipline and zen within you?
Many people, after trying archery at Station10, become interested in this ancient sport, so we’ll give you a hint: there’s even a Croatian archery club.
What Does Archery Look Like?
In theory, the game is simple but incredibly exciting. Players take turns aiming at a target placed directly in front of them. Points are awarded depending on where the arrow lands on the target. The closer to the center, the higher the score. The target consists of concentric rings, with the outer ring worth 1 point and the center (bullseye) worth 10 points. You can divide into teams or play individually. Whichever way you think will give you the best chance of victory.
However you decide to play, the goal remains the same – draw, aim, relax, and have fun. The rules and instructions are minimal and straightforward, so anyone can participate. With each attempt, your practice improves, and the results get better. Just try not to miss the target, otherwise, you’ll be searching the woods for your lost arrow.

- Teamwork and competition vibe: Play one-on-one with a (non)friend or team up for a better chance of winning in a group. It’s all up to your preference.
- Improves focus and precision: Archery is a concentration and precision workout like no other. Though it may seem simple at first glance, a true archer must develop impressive levels of focus, strength, precision, and calmness.
- Brings satisfaction: Few things are as satisfying as an arrow flying at full speed and hitting the target. The sound is incomparable, and the feeling is exhilarating.
Tips for New Archers
- Relax. Even though it may seem like you need to be as tense as a bowstring, it’s more about strength, determination, and a steady hand.
- Focus on the target. Hand coordination isn’t the only thing to pay attention to. Carefully assess and lock your gaze on the point where your arrow will land.
- Mind your stance. A balanced and stable stance makes all the difference. Keep your feet firm on the ground, spread apart and stable. No dancing around.
- Hold the bow firmly, but not too tight. Too much force can decrease precision while holding it too loosely causes instability when releasing the arrow.
- Mind your breathing. Breathe slowly, inhaling when drawing the bow, and exhaling when releasing the arrow.
