Archery Tag is an action-packed blend of dodgeball and archery—a fun and safe combat game that’s perfect for both kids and adults. It’s a hit at birthday parties, corporate events, team-building activities, and more across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Irving.
Instead of paintballs or Nerf darts, players fire foam-tipped arrows at opponents in a fast-paced team challenge. It’s all the adrenaline of competitive play—with none of the mess!
We offer two types of arrows to suit your group:
High-impact arrows – Ideal for corporate events, bachelor parties, and adult groups (ages 18+).
Low-impact arrows – Designed for kids’ birthday parties and younger players to ensure safety while keeping the fun going.
Whether you’re hosting a party or planning a team-building day in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Archery Tag is a one-of-a-kind experience your guests won’t forget.
Archery Tag is an exciting and dynamic activity that requires skill and coordination, which is why it’s essential for all participants to learn how to shoot an arrow before jumping into the action. This is the number one rule to ensure everyone has the most enjoyable experience during the game.
At Airballing DTX, we start every Archery Tag session with a 15-minute archery practice to ensure all participants feel comfortable with their equipment and the basics of shooting before diving into the games.
Once everyone is familiar with firing arrows and running while shooting, we kick off a variety of exciting combat archery games. These games are designed to keep the action fast-paced and fun for everyone involved!
The gameplay and game modes we offer will depend on the size of the mobile arena we create for your event. You can choose between a small or large arena, depending on your group size and the level of intensity you want.
Some of the thrilling Archery Tag game modes you’ll experience include:
Medic
Team Deathmatch
Last Man Standing
Minefield
Infection
The Last King
V.I.P
League
Dodgeball
Capture the Flag
In many of these games, players race to the center of the arena where all the foam-tip arrows are laid out—just like the famous Hunger Games! This is why we like to call our Archery Tag experience the Real-Life Hunger Games for added fun and excitement.
The arena size you choose for your Archery Tag game greatly affects the intensity and style of play.
Smaller Arena: A smaller arena creates a more intense, fast-paced experience. With players and inflatables packed into a tight space, the game becomes a true test of speed and accuracy. Arrows fly back and forth, and there’s less room to hide—making it feel like a combat-style archery game. This type of setup is perfect for competitive players who enjoy high-energy games, similar to sports like paintball or airsoft.
Larger Arena: A larger arena offers a more relaxed pace, resembling a stress-free version of dodgeball. In this setting, players have more space to move, and catching arrows becomes just as important as hitting opponents. This is a great option for those looking to have fun with friends or practice their archery skills in a more laid-back environment. It’s ideal for casual play and for those who prefer less intensity during their Archery Tag experience.
So, if you’re looking for an exciting, high-energy game, go for the smaller arena. If you want a more relaxed, fun experience with plenty of room to enjoy the sport of archery, the larger arena is the way to go!
Safety is our top priority during Archery Tag. While the rules may vary depending on the specific game being played, here are the general safety protocols to follow:
Face Masks: A face mask (provided by us) must be worn at all times during gameplay to ensure your safety.
Arrow Safety: Arrows can be shot at maximum force but only at an opponent’s front profile. Shots made from behind will not count.
Arrow Collection: When running to the center to grab arrows, players must forfeit the arrow to the first player who touches it. No tug-of-war with arrows!
No Throwing Arrows: Players are not allowed to throw arrows. Arrows are meant to be shot from the bow only.
These simple rules ensure everyone has a fun, safe, and exciting experience while playing Archery Tag.
Here are some helpful tips to improve your Archery Tag skills:
Position the arrow: Place the arrow on the rest-piece of the bow.
Clip the arrow: Attach the back of the arrow to the bowstring and form a 90-degree angle with the arrow while it’s resting on the bow.
Pull the string: When drawing the bowstring, ensure your pulling hand is at cheek height.
Maintain distance: Keep about 3 inches between your hand and cheek for optimal release.
Flare your elbows: Make sure your elbows flare out to allow for a smooth, comfortable draw.
Keep the arrow steady: While running, place your index finger of the hand holding the bow over the tip of the arrow to keep it steady.
Release at the right time: Hold the arrow in place until you’re ready to fire, then release at the last second for a clean shot.
By practicing these tips, you’ll improve your accuracy, speed, and overall gameplay!

Omg what can I say. We had the most epic birthday for my 7 year old. David, our "coach" was incredible. He was great upon arrival with set up, he was so fun and full of energy helping all of the kids. Then they cleaned up and we're out quickly too. This company and David made my life so much easier not having to plan out the details of the event I will definitely have them back.
Our Archery Tag rental is best suited for ages 10 and up. We offer three types of bows to match the strength and size of tweens, teens, and adults. If you’re planning a party for kids under 11, we highly recommend booking a Nerf Gun party instead—it’s a safer and more age-appropriate option.
