It's easy to learn and hard to master: hold to draw, drag to aim and let go when your sight is steady. The wind changes every end, so every arrow is a new little puzzle. Two to four archers take turns, so the whole family can play.

How to play Archery

Hold your finger down to draw the bow, drag to move the sight and let go to shoot.
Your sight wobbles at first, then turns green when steady. Hold too long and it starts to shake.
The wind pushes your arrow sideways: aim into the wind. The flags show which way it blows.
Each end every archer shoots 3 arrows, then the next archer steps up.
The target moves back from 30 to 50 and 70 metres, where the wind matters more.
After the last end, the highest total wins.

Tips to shoot better

Don't rush: wait for the green sight before you let go.
Don't wait too long either: after a few seconds your arms start to shake.
Check the wind number every end; at 70 metres even a light wind moves the arrow a full ring.
Your sight stays where you left it, so after a good arrow, shoot the next one the same way.
Watch where your first arrow lands and adjust the next two.
