    Cool!
    Just wondering about the age limit for this as I see on the webpage it mentions for 10yrs and up - does this apply for camp as well?
    cheers

      Great question, Ange! When I spoke to Sam, the owner of NZ Bow Sports, he was more than happy with younger children playing - his 2 sons are both under 10. The issue is, littlies may need help loading the arrows and pulling back the bow string (the bows have a 20lb draw strength)...so Sam asks that adults be available to help them.

      The last time our family played, there was a game for bigger folks (who didn't need any help) and a separate game for smaller people. Ben (who is 7) is able to load and shoot the arrow himself, but he still played with the younger group.

      The best part about Archery Tag is that it doesn't hurt to get hit...unless it's you hitting yourself in the forearm with your bowstring. : )
