The app was launched by the company Vitalii Zlotskii on September 13, 2016, as a result of the iOS 10 update, which expanded how users could interact with the Messages app. Thus, users could access and utilizes the features of the GamePigeon app while in the Messages app. Well, now is your chance with GamePigeon’s Archery. Archery has three rounds, and the player that wins two of these rounds wins the whole game. In each round, you get three arrows and your score for the round is calculated depending on which ring you shoot the arrow on (0-10, with 10 being a bullseye).
Led by World Archery, the international governing body of competitive archery, the seemingly simple sport of firing arrows at a target has grown to become the complex activity that it is today. Undertaken by highly-skilled professionals battling it out on the world stage, archery competitions are usually classified into eight different age. It has a glitch or something i uninstalled and reinstalled it like 5 times today and it doesn’t work: when i click the game pigeon button it stays on the keyboard, but any other iMessage app still works. When other people send me gamepigeon games, no matter how hard or how many times i try, it won’t let me click on it, same with in my own apps i can’t click on it. The only way it shows.
Archery Tag® is played similarly to dodgeball, but you are equipped with a bow and specially designed foam-tipped arrows. Two teams, consisting of 5 players each playing opposite one another, are separated by a “safe zone.” Each team also has what we call a “5-Spot Knockout Target.” There are two objectives: 1) to hit the opponents, and 2) to knock out the five discs of the opposing team’s target. You eliminate a player by hitting him or her with an arrow, or by catching his or her arrow. The 5-Spot Targets work to save a “life” of one of the players. A “hit” player can be called back into the game when a target spot is knocked out or when a teammate catches an arrow. Unlike some other sports, the only safety equipment required to play Archery Tag® is a facemask.
Game Types
There are many different types of Archery Tag games you can play, and we are constantly inventing new ones to add a new element of fun and surprise. Here are a few that we tend to play on a consistent basis.
Regular
In a normal game of Archery Tag, the objective is to tag all players on the opposing team. Whether you are going to be strategic and patient or strike with an all-out attack is up to you. When a player is tagged, they must walk to the sidelines with a hand in the air. They may return to the game if a player from their team hits a target on the opposing teams target stand. A team wins if either all players on the opposing team are eliminated, or all targets in the target stand are shot out.
Revival
For a game of Revival Archery Tag, each team secretly selects one player on their team to be the ‘doctor’. Throughout the game, instead of going to the sidelines when players are tagged, players have a seat directly where they are tagged. The ‘doctor’ can go around and ‘revive’ downed player, bringing them back into the game. The game continues as long as the ‘doctor’ is still alive. Once the ‘doctor’ is tagged, the opposing team must tag all the remaining players to win the game.
Free-For-All
Free-for-all is similar to how it sounds. There are no teams and each player must fend for themselves. The only thing is that you can not tag players that are on the same side of the safe zone as you. This is a great way to determine who the champion archer is of all the participants!
Juggernaut
At the beginning of a Juggernaut game, each team is given a shield. The shield must be given to a player on the team who won’t be able to use a bow for the duration of this game. The ‘juggernaut’ can use the shield to defend teammates from oncoming arrows. Once the juggernaut is tagged, they are out for the game and can not hand off the shield to their teammates. The objective in a juggernaut game is to tag each player on the opposing team, including the juggernaut.
Safety
Players must wear safety mask when a game is in session to protect their face and eyes. Other than that, the foam-tipped arrows are cushioned enough that no other safety equipment is needed and players experience no pain when “hit” with our Archery Tag®arrows. To ensure the safety of our players, we only use authentic equipment purchased from Global Archery Products Inc., located in Indiana, USA.
Equipment
Face Mask
Our Archery Tag Certified Face Masks will keep you safe throughout your game. The elastic band band makes them a one-size-fits-all, and we sterilize each mask at the end of each game.
Archery Bow
Our Archery Tag Certified Longbows will give you the power and accuracy you need to win!
Archery Foam-Tipped Arrow
Our Archery Tag Certified Foam-Tipped Arrows are designed so that you feel virtually no pain when struck by an arrow.
Archery Tag Targets
Archery Shooting Games Ideas
Our Archery Tag Targets are used in most game types. The circles can be shot out, and when they are you can bring in a teammate who has been tagged. If you shoot them all out, your team wins.
