Are our ancestors so afraid that such prayers were born with them? According to the public, during the adventures of the time, the Christian West begged for their fear of the Hungarian Arrow Crosses: “Save us from the arrows of the Hungarians, Lord, us!” – “Sagittal Hungarorum libera nos, Domine!” Latin and Hungarian can be found in this quote more but those who make this plea do not give a precise source reference. Where does it originate?
Most of them refer to the Modena hymn and the lithian of Freising. Modena’s prayer was born at the beginning of the 900’s, published by the Italian historian Ludovico Antonio Muratori in 1738, the verse for Modena’s patron Saint Geminianus. According to legend, he has saved Modena from Attila. To this end, he calls for a plea to the saint: “ab Ungerorum nos defendas jaculis.” That is, “protect us from the arrows of the Hungarians.” The other surviving source is a litanic text that may also reflect the fear of the Hungarians. This is the case of Abraham’s bishop of Freising, from where the name of Freising lithian is, and this work returns the corresponding line: “ab invasion alienigenarum lib (era nos domine).” “Save us from the invasion of strangers, Lord, us.” this was most likely related to the Hungarians.
Well, we can be proud of our adventurous ancestors, the flagship of their successful combat troupe was the lightweight, racing and fast moving, they did not wear armor, and of course do not forget their awesome and powerful miracle weapon, the bow!

We all know about paintball, dodgeball and laser tag; but do you hear about Archery Tag yet? Archery Tag – or it also has many other names like arrow tag, archery attack, archery combat or archery battle – is a great combat game where two or more teams fight each other using bows and arrows. But don’t be scared, there’s no blood involved and we don’t even leave bruises (not like paintball – ouch)!
The arrows used in Archery Tag games have great big marshmallow-style tips making it much less painful than paintball! You get to shoot your friends (or your boss!), there’s no pain involved and you feel like Robin Hood. I bet we caught your attention, so let’s get into the equipment and rules of this fantastic game!
The rules of this sport combines elements from dodge ball, paintball and traditional archery, which turns it into an exciting mixture and in one of the best and most fun ways to release adrenalin in parties, stag parties, team building events or any kind of event for councils and other entity.
Equipments
Bow – a basic lightweight recurve bow.
Arrows – patented ‘safe’ tips, carefully weighted and spined to match the bows.
Mask – even though ‘head shots’ are illegal in the game, a bit of extra protection never went amiss.
Start of the game
The play area is divided into three zones. There are two separate zones for the teams, which are separated by the “Safe Zone”. The 5-point target is located at the edge of both separate zones, at the front. The part beyond the boundary is the waiting area.
1. Create two teams please and accordingly take on the distinctive jerseys
2. Please use the protectors on your heads and on your lower arms and grab a bow!
3. To get started, all draw back to the baseline of your own space
4. As soon as the game master blows his whistle, the game starts
5. Everyone hurries to the neutral zone between the two squares, where the archers are prepared, and then collect as many comets as possible, back over the coverings on your own space, you can start hunting!
The rules of the game and the gameplay
1. Whoever is hit will lose the game
2. Any point on the body counts as a valid hit, unless it first touches the cover or the ground and then hits the player.
3. You can leave the designated path for free only for the purpose of collecting arrows.
4. You can return to the battle a player who is a member of your team, if:
a. You can get an archer shot by an opponent, while it is flying.
b. You can shoot a sponge wheel from your opponent’s target board
5. A gameplay takes 10 minutes, but ends immediately if:
a. One of the teams is out,
b. The targets of one of the teams are running out of the spinning wheel.
If there is a tie in the number of game runs, “volley” will follow!
The two teams are lined up against each other 25 meters apart, while between the teammates there is a distance of about 1.5 to 2 meters.
In the lead Team A fires into Team B, while they must be motionless. The one who was hit was out of the game. Then Team B goes one step ahead and they shoot at Team A. Players who have been hit will also be lost. The game lasts until all the players in one team drop out.
Rules:
Anyone moving away from the shot is gone
In the volley-firing each player may shoot only 1 arrow (no quick re-check)

After an Archery Tag you will find plenty of good program opportunities for Budapest‘s new leisure activities. In many respects the city offers pioneering programs that you haven’t heard of yet! If you are tired after the game, you can continue your day with a thoughtful game or a pleasant beer. Let’s give you some tips on how to spend time after the game!
Like the archery tag, one of Budapest‘s new and popular attractions is the escape room. The game has a strong history in Budapest, so you can try world-class rooms in the city. These special cellars, rooms or dungeons have been designed to challenge players with complex mysteries and puzzling tasks. The goal is to get the team out of the room within a given time by deciding on hidden tools, combinations or puzzles. The game is led by a gambler who helps if you get stuck. Relaxing games make it really interesting that each room has a different theme and background history. From the Pharaoh’s Tomb, to the scary world of serial killers, there is room for every topic. Their goal is not to scare or fear, just to entertain, so we recommend it for all ages. To be able to get rid of you successfully, you will need teamwork, brainstorming and critical thinking.

Check out our top ten reasons to try this amazing game!
#1 – It’s super fun!
The first thing that should motivate you to do anything is that it should be fun. In archery tag, you’ll have enemy fire raining down on you in a hair-raising battle to the death—and you’ll taste the sweet joy of shooting arrows at your friends and co-workers. It is exciting enough to keep you moving and safe enough to make you comfortable. You get to relive your favorite movies and books and enjoy the thrill of being a superhero.
#2 – Suitable for groups of any size
When the weekend rolls around and you are looking for a fun way to spend your free time, it can be difficult to find an activity that accommodates a large group of people. Archery tag can generally accommodate groups of four to twenty! So you can bring the whole neighborhood if you want.
#3 – It counts as exercise
The perfect pastime is the one that keeps you mentally and physically engaged. With archery tag, you get both. While you have to prep your team for a winning strategy, you also have to do lots of running, sliding, and diving. You’ll definitely work on your upper body strength, even with low weight archery tag bows. To be able to avoid the arrow hit you will have to move around like a real warrior.
#4 – You can play it outdoors
It is fun to play outside, especially if you’re a hardcore Robin Hood fan. (Who isn’t?) Some archery tag venues have the option of playing outdoors in the warm months. What better way to get some fresh air and exercise?
#5 – Actually, you can play in anywhere!
It can be practically anywhere! We can set up a suitable track in any suitable size area – both indoors and outdoors. In Budapest there are permanent trails, you can choose from these, but we are mobile archery tag company, so you can book your archery party for any location you want. There are few things to keep in mind, however, the main combat field has to be 10-20 meters wide and 20-40 meters long, so you can do it in your backyard if it’s big enough. Also, if you have access to a soccer field, maybe an old warehouse, they can make it happen there. This is great for larger parties, for groups of 10 to 20 people.
#6 – The games are awesome
You don’t just show up, get handed a quiver of arrows, a bow, some stinky safety gear, and get told to get a move on. First of all, the venues always take you through a quick archery lesson and safety training. Second of all, most venues have preset games you can play. These are scenarios they’ve created that the employees take you and your pals through so you can have an awesome combat fight. There are ones that are obvious, like capture the flag, but there are also some super creative ones. Some venues have over 35 combat scenarios, from games like Sniper to Gladiator, Assassin, Vampire, and Necromancer.
#7 – It’s suitable for kids
Archery tag is great for kids—though over-protective parents may disagree! Most companies wouldn’t recommend children younger than six engage in combat (probably a good idea), but you can safely take your little ones six and older to experience this amazing game. They will have fun and the physical exercise will mean that you get a rest later at home.
#8 – It’s great for parties
Archery tag is a great way to mix up how you celebrate with your friends. They’re great for bachelor parties, bachelorettes, and birthday parties. It’s got the action and camaraderie of paintball without all the welts.
#9 – It helps you relieve pressure and stress
Engaging in any sort of physical activity is great for stress relief but with archery tag, you can go one step further. You’re working out and enjoying all the endorphins that brings, but you’re also engaging in combat, firing arrows, hitting opponents, and dominating the pitch. It’s a rush. And if even shooting arrows won’t take the edge off, if you booked your archery tag game at Battle Sports, they also happen to have a rage room on the premises.
#10 – It’s fun in wintertime
It’s not what you think—we are not suggesting that you play in the snow like Legolas when he was crossing Caradhras in a blizzard. (But, you know, you always could try a Nordic game of archery tag. It’s probably a lot of fun. . .) No, we’re just saying that warm indoor venues are the perfect thing to lure you away from your couch in the dead of February. There is no need to turn into a nasty couch potato when the snow flies. You can get out, socialize, and have fun.
If you’ve already tried archery tag, then you know that it really gets you moving, and that it’s absolutely necessary to break a sweat to have a good game. It’s healthy and entertaining and many people play it not just for exercising, but also because it’s different, fun, and engaging. If you want to play archery tag in Budapest with so many different options, you just need to find your favorite track.
