Does someone know some good shooting games for kid´s with bow and arrow ?
We are planing a X-mass event for our local archery club and want to have some fun with our young shooters.
Thanks,

You can put prize tickets/notes inside balloons and kids can shoot for them. Different prizes in different balloons.
Kids like archery tick-tack-toe. Big sheets of paper with TTT grid and kids take turns shooting for their X's and O's.

Tic Tac Toe or how ever its called works great.
You know the one with 6 squares and two people making "X" and "O" till one has three in a row.
ha, too slow
Or you paint numbers (eg 2,4,6,8,10) on the target, everybody starts with eg 50 points and must work his way down to zero like darts.

Tic Tac Toe with clay pigeons is really fun. My girls love it. As stated above any thing with balloons, kids love. Shooting different stuffed animals is a blast, even the adults like that. For our club shoots I get stuffed animals from yard sales and good will.

How old? Another suggestion...
2 liter soda bottle rigged to a fishing rod. Put some weight in the bottle, cast it way out there, reel it in, have fun.

If you have the room, do archery golf. Pick a tree/bush in the distance, and see who can hit it in the least amount of shots.

Yup, my son loves to shoot a helium balloons. Go to the dollar store and ask them for extra length ribbon. Them tie them down and let them float. If there is a slight wind it gets good. Have a good backstop.
He also loved to shoot black jack. Get a deck of cards and spread them out and glue them onto a large sheet of cardboard. Hang them up on a target and let them shoot one arrow at a time. First to get black jack wins.
