Activity description
Archery is an activity of precision, calmness, and focus, practiced both outdoors and indoors.
Guided by an instructor, participants learn to handle the bow, aim at the target, adjust their posture, and shoot.
Accessible to all skill levels, this fun and slightly competitive activity allows everyone to concentrate, push their limits, and hit the mark, literally and metaphorically.
What does it impact ?
- Developing leadership and confidence : Hitting the target requires self-control, stress management, and individual initiative, skills directly transferable to the workplace.
- Stimulating innovation and creativity : By integrating playful variations (creative challenges, duo shots, scenarios), the activity also stimulates mental agility and out-of-the-box thinking.
What should the organizer prepare ?
- Book an archery center or a suitable and safe space.
- Hire a certified instructor to lead the activity.
- Prepare the necessary equipment : bows, arrows, protective gear, targets, etc.
- Inform participants to wear comfortable clothing.
- Plan symbolic prizes for the best performances.
How to achieve our goals on the big day ?
- Start with a technical introduction accessible to all, without pressure.
- Organize duels or mini-tournaments in pairs to strengthen collaboration.
- Introduce a creative challenge, such as targeting symbolic goals : team qualities, business objectives, etc.
- Encourage participants to identify their own concentration style and method.
- Include a “silent observation” break to foster listening and analysis between rounds.
- End with a discussion circle about the learnings: “What did I aim for today?”
When is the right context for this activity ?
- When the team needs to slow down while staying focused.
- To help each person regain confidence in their precision and decision-making posture.
- Before launching an ambitious project where every move matters.
- To cultivate a calmer, more strategic, and controlled mindset.

See what others have done 👋
- A startup in New Mexico held a tournament where the targets represented “goals to take down,” such as “overly long meetings.” It was a liberating success!
- A management company asked employees to personalize their targets. One resembled a manager, who took it with great humor!
- A company in Portugal organized back-to-back duo shooting, where one partner guided the other. The laughter from the missed shots was nonstop!
- In Trois-Rivières, a manager promised a bonus to anyone hitting the bullseye three times in a row. He had to pay up when an administrative assistant nailed it!
- In a development company, a left-handed participant won the final by shooting with his right hand, “for the challenge.” He was promoted two months later! Coincidence?
