Archery in nature offers an active yet peaceful outdoor experience on a private woodland property. Upon your arrival, you will first be welcomed and receive a structured introduction from a certified archery instructor and certified bow hunter. You will learn the most important safety rules, the structure of the gear and the basics of instinctive archery. The initial focus is on posture, breathing and a clean sequence of movements, so that both beginners and experienced participants can get off to an optimal start.
In the first part of the activity, which lasts about six hours, you will start with classic target shooting. This phase serves to help you get a feel for the bow and improve your personal technique. The instructor will support you individually and give you tips on posture, the anchor point and aiming. Even participants with prior experience benefit from this phase in order to refine their technique or learn about new approaches.
As you progress, you will move from traditional targets to realistic 3D animal targets. These lifelike targets made of a special rubber material ensure a particularly authentic experience and add extra variety to the training. Different distances and different shooting angles are incorporated. In addition, you will have the opportunity to shoot from different heights – for example, slightly uphill or downhill – to practice adapting to natural terrain conditions.
In addition, selected survival elements are incorporated into the activity. These impart basic knowledge of nature and raise awareness of the surroundings, the terrain and how to move safely in the forest. This creates a multifaceted experience that promotes concentration, coordination and mindfulness while at the same time strengthening one's connection to nature.
The activity is aimed at participants between the ages of 12 and 99 and is suitable for both beginners and experienced archers. You are welcome to bring your own gear. Alternatively, all the gear will be provided by the organizer. A toilet is available on site. Know before you go: No food or drinks are provided, so please bring enough water and your own food.
