Archery Dodgeball Equipment for Churches, Youth Groups, Team-Building & Events
Archery Dodgeball Equipment for Churches, Youth Groups, Team-Building and Events
Short answer: to run archery dodgeball (combat archery) you need foam-tip bows, foam-tip arrows in two team colors, a face mask for every player, and inflatable bunkers for cover. ArrowSoft Archery sells all of it outright — no franchise, license or per-event fee — with a Adult Dual Target Game Kit at $299.99, a Youth Dual Target Game Set at $299.99, inflatable cylinder bunkers (2-pack with pump) at $159.99, and volume pricing for organizations. Youth pastors, rec coordinators, HR teams and party-rental companies are the most common buyers.

Who buys archery dodgeball equipment
Churches and youth ministries
Archery dodgeball is the game students ask for every week — competitive, easy to supervise, and it works in a fellowship hall. Churches use it for youth group nights, lock-ins, VBS rotations, fall festivals and outreach events. See six archery activities for church youth groups.
Corporate team-building and HR
Companies buy a set instead of paying per-event venue fees. Two teams, bunkers, five-minute rounds — it levels the field between athletes and non-athletes because aim matters more than speed. One purchase covers every offsite, holiday party and recruiting event afterward.
Rec centers, YMCAs and after-school programs
Runs in an existing gym with no modifications, needs one staff member, and gives 20+ kids a reason to show up. Foam tips do not damage floors or walls.
Party-rental and mobile event companies
Because ArrowSoft equipment is sold outright with no license, operators can add archery dodgeball to their offering and keep 100% of event revenue. Replacement arrows and masks are stocked individually.
How archery dodgeball is played
Two teams start on opposite sides of a center line with bunkers for cover. Players shoot foam-tip arrows at opponents; a hit eliminates the player (or sends them out until a teammate catches an arrow or knocks out a target disc). Rounds last about five minutes; the last team standing wins. Full rules: Archery Dodgeball Rules — set up and play in 15 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is archery dodgeball the same as Archery Tag®?
The game is the same idea; “Archery Tag®” is one company's trademarked brand. ArrowSoft is an independent equipment supplier and is not affiliated with it.
Does getting hit hurt?
With foam-tip arrows and 14–22 lb bows, a hit feels like a firm tap — less than a dodgeball. Face masks are worn by every player.
Can adults and kids play together?
Yes. Mix youth and adult bows so everyone has a bow matched to their size; the arrows are the same.
Can I run paid events with this equipment?
Yes. There are no usage restrictions, royalties or event fees once you own the equipment.
