Archery Games Online: Target, Stick Duels and Hunting
Updated
Archery games online come in four kinds: target archery where you aim for the bullseye, balloon and bottle shots, stick archer duels, and games where you hunt or defend with a bow. In several of them you drag back to set the angle and power, then release to fire.
Types of archery games
| Type | What you do | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Target archery | Hit the center of a target | Archery Legends |
| Balloons and bottles | Pop balloons or shatter glass with one arrow | Balloon Shooter Archery Game |
| Stick archer duels | Out-shoot a stickman opponent, alone or with a friend | Stick Archers Battle |
| Hunting and defending | Hit birds or hold off waves of enemies | Last Quiver |
Target archery: aim for the center
These are the closest to the sport: a target, an arrow and a score.
- Archery Master Bow and Arrow gives you a limited number of arrows and a high score to chase. Tap and pull to charge the bow, watch the direction of the arrow and release.
- Archery has you shoot at targets set at various distances to earn coins for new bows, arrows and upgrades. The mouse does everything.
- Archery Training asks you to put test arrows in the center of the target, and every round adds more wind. It takes a mouse or a touch screen.
- Archery Shooting is a small game with one rule: hit the center. The closer you hit, the more points you get, and a bullseye gives bonus arrows.
- Legendary Archer is set in the ruins of a castle and has 50 levels across 5 locations. Time counts, and you aim at the center of the target with the mouse.
- Archery Legends has two modes: Classic Mode on a range with obstacles, and Adventure Mode with animal targets in a jungle. Tap and hold to aim, release to shoot, and adjust for the wind.
- Tiny Archer gives you endless targets. Release the arrow at the right moment, and remember that every miss costs an arrow.

Balloons, bottles and spinning targets
The target here is not a bullseye, so the shot is more of a puzzle.
- Balloon Shooter Archery Game asks you to pop as many floating balloons as you can with a bow. Each level adds new twists and obstacles. Click or tap to play.
- Magical Archer has 16 levels. Each starts with a glass to shatter, so you set the angle and strength of the shot. The game has 6 types of magical bottles.
- Tricky Arrow 2 asks you to hit a spinning circle target while other arrows fly toward you. Click or tap to play.
Stick archer duels
In a duel the arrow has to arc over to your opponent, so you guess the angle and distance.
- Stick Archers Battle is a 1-2 player bow game with "1 Player", "2 Player" and "Death-match" modes. The first to reach 5 points wins. The blue player uses W or taps a button, and the red player uses the Up arrow or taps a button.
- Arrow of Janissary is a 2-player duel in which wind, angle and bonuses change where the arrows land. The first to 5 points wins. Use touch, or W and the Up arrow on a keyboard.
- Huntman is a stickman battle against waves of enemies. Click and drag back to aim and set power, release to fire, and tap the icons in the bottom bar to switch weapons or raise a magical shield. Gold buys upgrades such as the Flame Bow and Force Shields.
- Bloody Archers puts you among stickmen with bows. Drag the left mouse button backward to aim, release to shoot, and allow for the arc and drop of the arrow. Targets spring up around the field, and incoming arrows hurt.
- Stick Archer Champion has you defeat other stick figures with better bows, arrows, quivers and shields. Move from side to side to line up a shot and dodge enemy arrows, and spend coins on upgrades and skins.

Hunt, defend and run with a bow
- Forest Archer has shifting winds, and each level is tougher. Click and drag the mouse back to set aim and power, then release to fire. On a phone you touch and drag, then lift your finger.
- Bird Hunter is a 2D game about hunting flying birds. You lose a life if you miss a bird, or if you hit a bird that shoots arrows back. It has a timed mode and a survival mode.
- Last Quiver puts a lone archer against waves of enemies and zombies, with only a limited number of arrows. Click to send an arrow, and pick your targets.
- Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds is a pixel platformer with 40 levels. Survive 15 seconds in each by dodging hazards and firing arrows, which bouncing platforms can redirect. A and D or the arrow keys move, W, the Up arrow or Space jumps, and J or X shoots.
- Professional Archerist is a 3D game in which you never stand still. Run, slide, jump and pivot while lining up shots at targets of different heights, angles and speeds.
Rifle hunts and predator games are in hunting games online.
Tips for archery games
- Read the wind before you release. Archery Training adds more wind each round, Arrow of Janissary lets wind move the arrow, and Forest Archer has shifting winds.
- In Archery Legends, hold the aim, check the wind direction and adjust before you let go.
- In drag-to-aim games such as Huntman, Bloody Archers and Forest Archer, the drag sets aim and power, so release only when both look right.
- Count your arrows. Tiny Archer takes one for every miss, and Last Quiver gives you only a limited number.
- In Tricky Arrow 2, watch the arrows flying toward you as well as the spinning target.
