These team building activities put your group on an outdoor archery range in the Saratoga hills, with coaches teaching every guest to shoot safely.
Nobody needs to have held a bow before. Every session opens with about 20 to 25 minutes of instruction for the whole group, covering range safety and the basics of shooting. After that, guests step up to the shooting line and practice on the training ranges with a coach beside them. The session is booked by the hour, so the length you choose decides how much shooting and team play fits in.

How the session runs
Everyone hears the instructions together. Then the coaches divide the group by the size of each range: typically about 12 people shoot on the smaller range with one coach while the rest shoot on the larger range with the second coach. Everything happens on the two training ranges, which have a backdrop behind the targets. Groups do not go out on the trail course, because the hour is better spent shooting than searching for missed arrows.
Choosing a session length
In one hour, the goal is that every guest is trained and shoots a few rounds safely. Collecting arrows between rounds takes a while with a big group, so a team game fits into one hour only if there is time to spare. A 90 minute session leaves room for the team versus team game, where both sides aim for a balloon in the middle of the target. Most visiting groups take 90 minutes or two hours, and the coaches prefer two hours for larger groups.
What to wear and bring
Wear well-fitting clothing and shoes with good tread. Leave bulky or puffy jackets behind, since they catch the bowstring, and tie back long hair. Bring water, sunscreen, and bug repellent. The range is outdoors and open during daylight hours, so sessions finish before sunset.
Getting to the range
The range sits in the hills above Saratoga, where cell reception is weak. Look up the route and save a screenshot of the directions before you leave. There are about 20 shared parking spots, so carpooling is essential for bigger groups. The session cannot begin until everyone is present, so plan for the group to arrive a few minutes early. A map of the meeting point is sent to the organizer ahead of the session.
Waivers and range rules
Each participant brings a signed waiver, printed and signed before arrival. Under county park rules, children under 12 must be with an adult on the range. On the line, guests listen to the coach, draw and release only at the signal, point arrows only toward the target, and collect arrows only when instructed. There is no running or horseplay near the line, and each guest uses only the equipment assigned to them.
Who books this session
Teams looking for team building activities for adults book it as a break from the office, and it works as the active part of a company offsite or an executive retreat. Because everything is taught from the first arrow, mixed groups of beginners do well. Planners comparing outdoor team bonding activities, or putting together a corporate team outing in the Bay Area, also book it for networking days and birthdays.
