High-energy, competitive, and seriously fun.
Our Combat Archery sessions are designed to keep the action flowing from start to finish. Whether you’re here for a stag or hen party, team-building event, or just an unforgettable day out, our trained host will tailor the experience to suit your group’s energy and vibe. Below are just some of the game formats you’ll enjoy:

DODGE ARROW

A fast-paced team game where dodgeball meets archery. Two teams face off from opposite ends of the field and race to the centre to collect arrows from the neutral zone. Players must stay on their side of the field while launching arrows at the opposition. If you’re hit, you’re out—unless one of your teammates catches an incoming arrow to bring you back in. Expect high drama, quick reflexes, and plenty of team spirit.

ELIMINATION

Similar to Dodge Arrow, but with higher stakes. Once you’re hit, you’re out—no second chances. The objective is to completely eliminate the opposing team. If time runs out before a full elimination, the team with the most remaining players takes the win. It’s simple, intense, and highly competitive.

LOOT RUSH

Strategy meets chaos in this tactical challenge. Teams must dash into the open field under enemy fire to collect as much “loot” (cones, bibs, etc.) as possible and return it to their base. Get hit, and you drop everything and head back to respawn. You’ll also need to defend your loot stash—because the other team is coming for it. The team with the most loot at the end wins.

HEN/STAG RUN

A hilarious, must-play favourite for stag and hen groups. The chosen hen or stag must sprint across the field while the rest of the group—armed and ready—fires arrows in their direction. The goal? Make it to the other side with as few hits as possible. The result? Non-stop laughs and unforgettable memories.

CAPTURE THE FLAG

A classic game with an archery twist. Each team has a flag (or cone) positioned at their base. The mission is to grab the opposing team’s flag and bring it safely back to your own base—without getting hit. If you’re struck while carrying the flag, you must drop it where you stand and return to your base before jumping back in.


Our Combat Archery experiences are built for variety and energy, and no two sessions are the same. Your event coordinator will run through the game options on the day and customise the flow of the session to match your group’s style—ensuring it’s a thrilling and memorable experience from start to finish.

We had a great Stag weekend with my friends. We had our weekend booked and organised just before lockdown. Clearly these were uncertain times and two years later I decided to reorganise the weekend when restrictions eased John was very accommodating and everything ran smoothly. Activities included a group meal on the Friday night, Hearts FC hospitality package on the Saturday afternoon before a Babes bar crawl on the Saturday night (Which ensured 22 lads were kept together and we gained entry without fuss to all bars and night clubs) All the lads enjoyed the weekend

Fantastic Stag Do
John was fantastic with the organisation of the stag do. We tried out the mini highland games for 9 of us, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all and really bought out a competitive nature in everyone. Would recommend this event to everyone! The transport was great too, right on time and the driver was very pleasant.

Helpful and Easy
John was very helpful throughout and made sure everything ran smoothly. Perhaps a little slow to respond at times, but always helpful and made sure our weekend went as well as possible.

5-star review of edinburghstag.com:
We did the Mini Highland Games and also the Paintballing through John at Edinburgh Stag & Hen Do Co. Both things went off without a hitch and the travel to and fro was perfectly on time. We also booked the accommodation on Gilmore Pl. With 18 fellas on the trip the accommodation had it's own key pad systems for each room and for the front door! No need to be bothering anyone about lost keys etc.

Highly Recommended!
We booked the Highland games followed by a whiskey tasting and it was fantastic! The day went seamlessly, we were picked up from where we requested by a minivan and then taken to the games which were run by a fantastic instructor, then back to the centre where we had the whiskey tasting. John was quick to respond, easy to get in touch with and organised everything we needed for a great day. He went above and beyond with recommendations on places to go and eat/drink too, would highly recommend anyone wanting to book a stag do in Edinburgh to use him! Thank you!
