Fantastic experience! The organizers did a great job teaching basic safety, keeping it all fun, interacting with everyone, and promoting a safe/fun environment. It would be perfect for a birthday party, group of friends wanting a change of scenery, or any group. Also, the owners were great about answering my questions and emails to make the reservation. They are worth supporting! You won't regret it read more

They were so helpful and organized! We used their services for a company event and they took care of everything from instruction, safety, waiver signing, refereeing, and set up and tear down of the field. Highly recommended for your next event! read more

We went to a birthday party at a park my friends had set up this archery tag thing. I had never heard of it and was skeptical at first but everyone had a great time. upshot had all the equipment, chairs for spectators to sit on, and even joined in the games. It was a great time and I'm sure we will be using them in the future for our own parties. read more

I used Upshot Archery for my 29th birthday and invited about 35 people to play Archery Tag! We split the players by team colors and had a little less than 10 people per side, per game. We reserved for 2 hours of playing time, and it was enough! By the end of the practice round, we were huffing and puffing! Everyone had enough playing time and everyone was pooped, and a little sore after from running, jumping, dodging, suicide sprints, etc! Kelly and his family (Wife and Father-in-law) were amazing hosts as they got everyone suited, informed for safety and how to shoot, and motivated and encouraged the players during the game! All my guests, from ages 10 to 34 had a blast!! I would highly recommend Upshot Archery for any parties, events, get-togethers, team building or anything you have coming up. They were punctual, friendly, and easy to work with/communicate with! Thank you so much Upshot! You guys were amazing! read more

Overall a really fun experience. The guys who set it up were very good at explaining the rules. 10/10 would recommend.

I try doing planning active events for my birthdays so when my birthday came around again (today), I decided to research a bit into outdoor activities. Archery tag was at the top of that list. Seriously. My friends and I had a blast playing outdoors. If you're into archery or tag, this is a must do activity. You'll totally feel like Katniss in the Hunger Games (you know, without the bloodbath). Kelly and his staff were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I contacted Kelly about 3 weeks ago to plan my event and he was super patient with me the entire way. I had what seemed like a bazillion questions for him and he was nothing but professional with me. (I'm so sorry about that Kelly! Thank you again for making my event so fun for everyone.) UpShot Archery doesn't have a brick and mortar location so you'll have to find a park to hold the event at. When we got there, they had everything set up for us. They explained the rules, gave us our equipment that comes with the quote (except for arm guards; those are $2 to rent), and sent us off to play. They had a bunch of twists for each of the games, which made it more fun. If you play with 20 people like we did, 10 people play in a 5 min game (5 v 5) and then switch with the other 10 once the game is done. I was worried people would be bored during the wait time, but it was never a problem. We just cheered for our friends, caught our breath (seriously, it was such a work out) and watched everything go down. They went above and beyond for my event and I couldn't be happier about how my birthday turned out.. The staff also filmed us on their phones and sent me the pictures and video too. If you ever want to do an outdoor activity with friends, I would highly recommend trying them out! read more

My friends and I attended one of their public events at Hollandia park in San Marcos. It was $25 each for as many 5-min games we wanted to play in a 1-hr period (which is plenty cause it's actually pretty tiring, especially if it's hot out). All the equipment is included except for the armguards, which they rent out for $2 each. Everyone on staff was super friendly. They teach you the basics on how to shoot, the rules of the game, and some safety tips. The masks are easy to see through but they do get pretty hot after you start running around. The game itself is awesome and super fun, kinda like dodgeball but with bows and arrows (but without the bruises you can get from paintballing haha). One hour nonstop playing was definitely enough. I guess with bigger groups they rotate people in and out for the 5-min games, which would've been nice cause it's pretty exhausting, but no one else showed up so we basically had a private archery tag party! Anyways, I would definitely recommend archery tag for any parties, events or team building activities you have coming up. Or go to one of their public events if you just want a fun weekend activity. :) read more

so much fun!! I participated when they came down to UCSD for phi delt and had a blast! i highly recommend read more

Staff was very down to earth. Didn't count against us when some of us were late 10 mins. Had a good location at a nice park. Was very patient and very open to feedback regarding what we liked best about the different games. The coordinator even got all creative. Do not be deceived by the size of the field. This isn't tag or cops and robbers. You will do a lot of quick movements to secure your weapon stash and to provide cover for your teammates. You will be grateful the target is closer to you and that you don't have to cover much ground cuz you will still work a good sweat. Don't be like me, getting headshot multiple times. All in all it was a good time with some great friends. Definitely memorable. read more

My friends and I went to their public event today and it was great! Despite having very limited archery experience, the staff was very helpful in teaching the basics on loading the arrow and how to get accurate shots. Once we got a hang of it, we started playing "dodgeball" - archery style. It was definitely an unique and thrilling experience. I would definitely do it again (public or booking their privates events). read more

Came here with a group of friends and it was so fun. At first I figured it might be a little fun by what I saw online, but was I wrong. The games were fun and we all had an amazing time.

I highly recommend. read more

This is one of the funniest things I have done in a while. Recently had upshot come out to a guys gathering and we all had a blast.

Came here a couple weeks ago with my boyfriend. Easier than one would expect to learn, and very fun! All the staff were very friendly and it was a good price. Would be good for families, dates, or just friends! read more

I don't think I've had this much fun with both kids and adults in a long time. At first I thought it was only going to be standing behind barriers, (which of course you can do if you'd like) and just shooting a "sponge" tipped arrow. However, you can make this event very active depending on how much you want to run, rock, roll, and any other number of contortions you want to put your body through. The staff is friendly, safety conscious, and also a fun group of people. I would highly recommend this for family, friends, or perhaps a business event. read more
