Hold breath, compensate for wind and drop, and loose arrows in a free archery game in your browser. Classic, Ladder, Versus, or the daily wind — no download.

How to play Archery

  1. Drag on the target to move the aim point. The drawn reticle sways around it.
  2. Hold breath for up to 2 seconds to steady the reticle, then the meter recharges for 3 seconds. A shot during recharge uses full sway.
  3. Release the aim pointer, or tap Loose, to fire. Releasing Hold breath leaves the arrow nocked.
  4. Classic is 10 arrows at 30 m. Ladder is three arrows at 20, 30, 40, and 50 m. Versus is five arrows each against the computer. Daily is today’s Classic card at Medium.
  5. Wind drifts the arrow sideways and gravity drops it, more at longer distances. Aim off the center to cancel both.

Ten rings score 10 down to 1. A hit on a ring boundary takes the higher ring. The X ring scores 10 and wins a tie. A miss off the boss is 0. Best Classic, best Ladder, and each day’s best are saved on this device, replaced by a higher score or the same score with more X’s.
