| - DodgeBow... basically dodgeball but with archery, also known as archery tag
I did this only once, but I am itching to go back already! One of my friends convinced me to go I was a little reluctant in the beginning, thinking, I am terribly unathletic and I will just pass out halfway through the game I'm sure... also, I have never shot an arrow in my life. The closest i've gotten to archery was watching Legolas do it in the Lord of the Rings. but boy am I glad I went! It was so much fun!
So you show up a bit early, sign some waivers (obviously), and then there's a 15 minute session where someone will coach you on how to put on your gear and how to actually use the bow and arrow and shoot - if you are anything like me and don't work out much, it'll take you a couple minutes to get a hang of it, but don't expect to be a master at it... you will look cool though. The coaches/staff were super nice and friendly as well.
Then the games begin. To keep things interesting, there are several different games that we play over the course of the hour. Each game with a different goal e.g. medic, zombie etc it was a lot of fun, a lot of running around, dodging flying arrows (and occasionally getting hit... and yes, the tips are foam tips, but they still hurt a little)
At the end of the game, I just wished that I can continue and play more!
What at did not expect was the next day, my muscles were aching like mad, i could barely walk up the stairs properly... but that's just because I am completely out of shape. but even then I STILL want to go back, you can imagine how much fun I had.
Definitely recommended to go with a group of friends, you may be mixed with some strangers as well. Probably not a good game to play with small children lol...
All in all, great experience, loved it!
