August Battle of the Bows @ Franklin Park
Aug 14 @ 1:00 pm

Tacoma Battle Games: Battle of the Bows is a fun outdoor activity for youths and adults in which two groups engage in mock archery combat using padded tipped arrows. The goal is to work as a team to eliminate your opponents with team tactics and skills in archery. (all skill levels are invited, you can only get better if you practice!)

All players must be 14 years old or older and must be mature enough mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally to play on the war field. All players 14 to 17 must have a legal guardian present at the game at all times by either playing or watching from the sidelines.
Feel free to bring chairs, shade, and snacks!

First time playing? Join us at 12:30 pm for an orientation and a mini-training session before the games start at 1:00 pm!
