ARCHEON

A different way to play the sport we already love: faster, more tactical, easier to follow even for those watching from the outside.

Experimental format Awaiting data

ARCHEON is a faster, more tactical challenge format: two athletes or two teams, short rounds, a 10-second shot clock per arrow, and three mechanics that turn every round into a decision, Trap Call, Pressure Ring and Power Shot.

What it is
1v1 / 3v3 challenge format
Scope
Archery · target and field
Status
Experimental, worth trying

It does not try to replace archery: it adds a way of experiencing it, now and then, that is fun to shoot and easy to follow from the outside. There is a target/indoor version and a field/3D one.

Shooting well is not enough: you also have to decide when to apply pressure, when to gamble, when to protect yourself.

The Pressure Ring. A ring off-centre, worth 13. Do you go for it, or protect the round?

Data availability

No data collected yet: it is a rulebook to be tried out in the field, awaiting reports from the clubs that test it.

Try ARCHEON at your club

The rulebook is ready and no data have been collected yet: if you run a trial, I will help you set it up and record what is needed to judge whether the format works.

Let's plan a trial
