In short: The biggest cost of a corporate event in Istanbul is traffic. Archery is one of the few activities that removes it: it doesn’t depend on a venue, so we can set up the shooting line in your office garden, car park or an indoor hall. Your team spends the afternoon on the line, not on the road.
How it works in a corporate format
Archery is one of the great levellers among corporate activities: fitness, age and sporting background make little difference; what matters is stance, breath and the release. Someone holding a bow for the first time can hit the target on their second arrow. The group starts with modern bows for quick success, then anyone who wants to can try the traditional Turkish bow.
Programme flow
Safety briefing. One-way shooting line, the arrow-collection rule and arm guards.
Stance and practice. Stance, nocking, draw and release with a coach; unscored practice ends.
Team competition. Teams of 3–4, 10-to-1 ring scoring and a live scoreboard.
Final and awards. The best teams meet head to head in a final; trophy and photo moment.
Where and when in Istanbul
We most often use office campuses (a garden or car park in business districts such as Maslak, Levent or Ataşehir), company picnic sites and hotel gardens. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons outdoors; with an indoor hall it runs all year. We also add archery as a station to company picnics and sports days in Istanbul.

Safety
The shooting line is one-way and separated from the area behind it by a barrier. Arrows are collected only on the coach’s command, after all shooting has stopped. The bowstring hitting the forearm is the most common minor injury, and arm guards prevent it.

Frequently asked questions
Does it fit after work?
Yes. Archery set up at the office is a 1.5–2 hour block, and with no travel it can start as soon as work ends.
Can employees who have never shot a bow take part?
Yes. The programme starts with a briefing and unscored practice ends; no fitness or strength is needed.
Can you set up archery at our office?
A garden, car park or indoor hall with 10–18 metres from line to target and a safe zone behind is enough; we bring the equipment and barriers.
