Viking Village archery and longbow target practice

Archery and crossbow practice – precision, patience, and the instinct of an ancient warrior!

Before the era of firearms, hitting a target from afar took more than good luck. The bow and crossbow demanded a steady hand, sharp vision, and the skill to wait for the right moment. They were used in both hunting and military campaigns, and mastering them took practice.

In the Viking Village, you can take up these ancient weapons and test your accuracy. When you draw the bow, you feel the tension in your fingers, while cocking the crossbow takes the strength needed to wield it.

Will you hit the target on the first try, or does an ancient warrior’s skill need a bit of practice? This is what makes shooting exciting – every arrow gives you the opportunity to learn and improve your aim. In the Viking Village, you can also book an instructor, whose guidance makes it quite easy to let the arrows fly.

Archery and crossbow shooting is good for friends, families, and groups who want to not only observe Viking history but also experience it firsthand.
