Ratpack HAG
What is 3D and 2D?
- 3D bosses are (in the Ratpack's case, homemade) foam targets fashioned into shapes resembling animals, fictional or downright bizarre creatures.
- 2D bosses are far closer to home, these are flat target faces, usually depicting animals, fixed to a foam boss.
You shoot 1 arrow at each boss from one of 3 coloured pegs.
Each peg is in a different position and each has it's own challenge. All boss distances are unmarked. Yes, unlike target archery, you have to estimate what the distance is! You will also have to contend with a variety of obstructions laid between you and the boss.
Some bosses are around 40m away, but most are 20m to 30m.
The cost is £10 if you wish to use your own kit or £15 to hire Ratpack kit (recommended!). The hire kit is a barebow (no sights) recurve beginner bow and wooden arrows. The fee allows for lost/damaged arrows. If you use your own kit, arrow loss is down to you!

Sun09Oct20229:00 amArtillery Garden, London
The Fraternity of Saint George
The Honourable Artillery Company has graciously allowed the Fraternity of Saint George the use of its splendid and historic Artillery Garden for a shoot at the Marks and a Championship Shoot at Speed to raise money for the HAC. Benevolent Fund.
The Shoot is by kind permission of the Honourable Artillery Company’s Court of Assistants and its Chief Executive.
The Shoot is open to all by pre-registration.
The Artillery Garden is the last part of the former Finsbury Fields. No formal shoot to the Marks has been held in the area for some
two Centuries: archers of the Fraternity of Saint George are the exception.
There is no equivalent archery field in the world that bears comparison to the Artillery Garden. Here in the City of London lies the internationally hallowed ground for the longbow archer. The chance to shoot here is an honour for us all and one not to be missed.
The coming shoot has historic significance and will be an occasion of quiet splendour.
