Archers Assemble: Toronto's Epic Return to Combat Archery Tournament This August

We’re backkk… Ready for an archery showdown? Toronto's hosting the next Combat Archery Tournament this August, and it's going to be nothing short of epic. Yeah, you heard it right - the arrows will fly again from 7 pm until 11:30 pm, right here in The Six.

This time, the combat gets tougher, the battlefield more intense - the stakes? Well, they've never been higher. We've got four fierce teams ready to compete: Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and for the first time ever, Boston! Yep, this isn't your run-of-the-mill Tri-City Tournament anymore - we're making room for our neighbors down south.

And for those of you who've been following us, you know it's been a hot minute since we had a tournament in Toronto due to COVID. But now, we're back in the game, and we're not just playing to participate; we're playing to bring that shiny cup back home!

Toronto team captain Josh had some choice words about the upcoming tournament.

“Hosting our first tournament since 2019 means a lot to us. After going to Ottawa this past May and winning, the energy in our community has spiked and the drive to defend our title for the first time since 2017 is alive and well. I think the recent impression our players made on the other cities is that for the first time since the pandemic, Toronto is a real threat and we want to make sure we show up in full force to meet the expectations our opponents have of us and the ones we have of ourselves”

Referencing their latest 1st place win during the Golden Acres Tournament in Ottawa as The Untouchabows last May 2023. But the anticipation doesn't stop there - did we mention that Toronto's own Team Captain Josh is not only a strategic mastermind on the field, but also a seasoned coach at Archers Arena? He's honed his skills through countless hours of training, not just for his own performance but also to help others unlock their potential in this adrenaline-pumping sport. So if you've ever thought about taking a shot at combat archery, remember, you might just be learning from a champ.

The Untouchabows and Captain/Coach Josh in action! 😱🔥

There's fighting spirit for you! Be sure to check out this highlight reel from last year's tournament that showcases the high-stakes action we've come to expect.

So, to the Montreal Originals, who won the last tournament back in 2019 by beating our pride and joy, The Untouchabows, with a 21-16 victory, we've got one thing to say: we've been counting down the days until our rematch. And Olivier, Montreal's team captain, we're especially looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield again. It's time to renew old rivalries and let the arrows do the talking.

Oh, and Boston, we haven't forgotten about you. We're eager to see what your A-team brings to the table. We're already training to face your best shot.

Now let's talk about the game format. We're gearing up for 5v5, a dynamic and thrilling style that brings out the best in each archer and amplifies team strategy.

As for the prizes? Hold onto your bows, folks - we're still working out the specifics. But we'll let you in on a little secret: we're talking about including Arena Bows in the prize pool. So, if you've been eyeing those sleek, swift bows we've got around here, this could be your chance to claim one.

As always, the rules of engagement will be announced closer to the tournament date, but you can expect the same exciting, adrenaline-pumping action that Combat Archery is known for.

And if you're one of our loyal fans, we invite you, with all the formality we can muster, to join us this August. Come cheer us on as we reclaim our title, right here in Toronto. Got any questions?

Our Vaccine Mandates

Starting from the 1st of March, vaccine mandates will be dropped for Private Events!

Up to 30 people in the Party Room and up to 15 people in one court!

We have all sorts of activities to offer, participate in a team building event, or just have a blast! Come find out what's happening!

Archery Tag

It's like playing a game of dodgeball, but with bows and arrows. You can shoot at your friends, but they can also shoot back! It's like playing extreme Hunger Games style - only instead of being thrown into survival frenzy, we have rules!

Ricochets don't count, and your bow and arrow also count as part of your body. You wear helmets so you don't get hurt, and the arrows have foam tips so you can feel the impact without getting injured.

Nerf Wars

Evolve from a hunter with bow and arrows to a sniper with our Nerf Blaster Guns! Use a variety of the guns we offer like the Nerf Surgefire or Nerf Strongarm to mow down your opponents upclose or from afar!

These games are some of the best for kids. They're also great to play with friends or family members. You can play in different game modes, like wars and capture the flag, with any age group.

Bubble Soccer

What if you could play soccer with bubbles? You can now! It is called Bubble Soccer and it is so much fun. The bubble suits will make you feel like an unstoppable force in this activity where all boundaries disappear, including gravity or friction from solid surfaces.

Our elastic suits will let us bounce off friends safely. We will not get sweaty or sick from playing because the suits are cleaned and sanitized.

Blacklight Dodgeball/ Basketball

We love having new experiences, and this time we will have a lot of fun. You will be bringing back memories from when you were a child. They will also be in the dark!

You can play clean and safe indoors while having a music dance party. We can provide the music or you can do it yourself. You should wear bright-colored clothes so they will be easier to see and play with.

saber wars

Relive your Star War’s fantasy by joining the ranks of the Jedi Council or succumbing to the dark side! Defend Princess Leia from being captured or (if you’re bringing kids) reenact the infamous Youngling’s scene 😈

Beginner Archery Training

Maybe you don’t want to shoot at your friends? Or practice before going into battle and getting headshots?

Our coaches are ready for you with a one hour long session that includes digital targets and plenty of room. They will guide everyone through different games such as Around The World or Headshot Bob where each player gets an opportunity to shoot.

By keeping track of your personal scores and stats, you can measure how well you are doing and how much you have improved. If you compare yourself to others who have been playing for a longer time, maybe you can learn some secrets from them!

Karaoke Party Room

Looking for a place where you can have your own food and drinks?

The perfect place to host a birthday party, team building event or gathering with family! Our karaoke room is the right size, it can hold up to 24 people and we have a lot of amenities inside such as unlimited billiards, foosball, board games and more!

Private Gym & Private Basketball

At $12 per person per hour - minimum 2 people charge on weekdays, and minimum 4 people charge on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - we offer a private gym space for people who want to exercise without having to worry about a monthly subscription or other people. You can train without judgement during your session and lose all those extra pounds built up in quarantine!
