The Arco Vienna Handbook of Heroism: Account of a Safari
What does it take to be a hero? In the days of yore, when gods walked the earth, the matter was quite simple: slay hordes of monsters, steal troves of treasures, rescue damsels in distress. Modern times require quite a different approach to heroism. Monsters are either endangered species or are actually people who have had enough of whatever was bothering them. Stealing treasures means paying huge taxes… or in one recent incident, becoming president, which is just one step away from villainy. Not to mention that today’s damsels are neither in distress, nor do they wish to be rescued. In fact, it is often them who are doing the rescuing. So how can one be a hero in this day and age?
We of Arco Vienna have thought long and hard (ten entire minutes) and based on scientific observation of our own archers have compiled this here Guide to Heroism, the 2017 Safari Edition.
To be a hero, you must:
Simple, is it not?
If you think you have got what it takes to be a hero, join us for the 2018 archery safari!
See you then!

We of Arco Vienna have thought long and hard (ten entire minutes) and based on scientific observation of our own archers have compiled this here Guide to Heroism, the 2017 Safari Edition.
To be a hero, you must:
- be kind to everyone, the way Sascha had a word of praise for each participant in our safari in Styria;
- have a vivid imagination, the way Roman took us all into a fairy tale and let us slay some actual monsters at the beautiful parkour of the archery club Komantschen in Allerheiligen;
- recognise the truth when you see it, the way Dani witnessed Jessica’s prowess with the bow;
- inspire trust and lead the way, the way Andreas has been doing all these years;
- dare to improve oneself, the way Gabi started enjoying long shots;
- never let go of your goals, the way Dani and Konstantin completed all 86 targets at Godi’s parkour by the Tonnerhütte;
- keep going no matter the obstacles, the way Teresa, Roman and Sascha did in the rainstorm;
- adapt to the circumstances, the way Traci shot two entire days with a left-handed bow;
- support your partner, the way Naomi and Tim, Tanja and Alex, and Jessica and Konstantin did;
- be charming and witty, like Julija, Elena and Petra;
- try out new things, the way Marietta had her first parkour experience with us;
- go out of your way to help others, the way Stefan, Sascha and Thomas went to pick Marietta from the train station;
- make records of everything so that the legend can be told, the way Claudio shot not only arrows, but photos as well (and kept all receipts);
- remain human, the way everyone had to eat enough garlic to eradicate the entire vampire population of Transylvania;
- feast when the deed is done, the way Morgan did by devouring the greatest portion of schnitzel in the Tonnerhütte.
Simple, is it not?
If you think you have got what it takes to be a hero, join us for the 2018 archery safari!
See you then!

Well, not as drastically as on this five-year old picture, but still! Does anyone have an idea what is happening? Post your answers on our Facebook page!
P.S.: No, we are not filling arrow holes in the walls. ;)

Hallowe'en shooting at Arco-Vienna
The excitement was palpable yesterday at Arco-Vienna when archers loosed their arrows on pumpkins and skulls. Neither the indoor 3D parkour, nor the Wilhelm Skull shot, nor even the archery film, specially produced for Hallowe'en, could scare our archers from their success. The party continued in a friendly mood, with cake and pleasant conversation until midnight, when everyone flew home on their broomsticks. You can find some photo impressions to the left. A hearty thank you to everyone who celebrated with us! |
Blind teaching with Konstantin
On Friday, the 28.10.2016, Enikö Bodor, together with Roman Till from the Sagittarius archery club, organised a come-and-try event in archery for 12 blind and visually impaired people. They were helped by our Konstantin, who has completed a special training on the topic together with Roman (and Claudio). Peter Stoik, the president of the Vienna archers' association, also took part. The students' pre-conception that archery is impossible without being able to see was quickly shattered and the enthusiastic archers could successfully hit their targets at a distance of 10 metres. This was sooo much fun, said Konstantin. Archery can work even better when the archer is not distracted by the sight.

Heaps of fun paired with good shots!
On Monday 31st of Oktober we’ll be throwing a Halloween party with loads of surprises.
Legend says that on Samhain, what was later to become All Hallow’s Eve, the veil between the mortal world and the spirit world was at its thinnest, allowing spirits for cross the barrier. Some of these spirits were good and sought their loved ones who offered prayers and songs for them. Others were evil and hunted for human souls. To remain unrecognised, people started dressing like monsters, hoping to evade scrutiny by the eldritch beings.
Not. Us. We shall not cower!
Oh yes, we shall dress up, just like a hunter dresses in camouflage to better stalk his prey. But instead of being afraid, we shall take our bows and shoot arrows of fire into the night, destroying every evil spirit foolish enough to come through the walls.
Join us at Arco-Vienna for a night of excitement, laughter and challenge. Join us for 3D shooting, Wilhelm Tell challenges and archery cinema. Join us for dress-up, fun and a drink with your favorite archery friends (us).
Place: Arco-Vienna, Praterstraße 9/14
Time: 31.10.2016, from 17:00
Present for the gracious host: the usual 10 €
Dress code: scary
Trick-or-treating: optional
Good mood: mandatory
We’d love to see you there, please confirm two days in advance since we’ll be buying stuff to fill our bellies.

3D-Parcour Trip: Sunday 23rd October
Autumn came over us quite briskly but that won’t stop us from enjoying our favorite sport! Accompany us on our trip to one of the 3D Parcours around Vienna to experience the joy and freedom of archery in the free nature. Last week we went on a dinosaur hunt in Yspertal and on Sunday (23rd October) we’re going to Irenental bei Purkersdorf, a parkour particularly suitable for new archers to that kind of archery. We’ll be giving an introduction to everyone who hasn’t been to a parkour yet and rent out gear, both for free. The only costs you’ll have to cover yourself are the parkour fees.
Enjoy Mother Nature and test your skill! Please contact us promptly via mail ([email protected]) if you need a lift to get there. Don’t forget to wear suitable outdoor clothes and good boots and we highly suggest to bring a bite to eat and something to drink with you, since we’ll be roaming around the woods for about 3 hours.
Departure: Sunday, 10 am
Costs: 10 € parkour fee (broken and lost arrows cost 7€ each)
Arrival back in Vienna: approx. 3 pm
We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!

Take part in this year’s World Dragon Shooting Day!
The Story: Three years ago, archer and Dungeons & Dragons artist Dennis Kauth succumbed to cancer. His son Wyatt was seven years old at the time. Wyatt had one dream: archers all over the world shooting dragon targets to honour his father and help the less fortunate.
The Challenge: Draw a dragon. Shoot the dragon. Post pictures of you shooting the dragon. Donate for cancer patients.
The Event: On Friday, the 18th of March 2016, we shall gather in Arco-Vienna. Everybody is strongly encouraged to bring their own dragon target. Regardless if you draw one yourself, print one from the Internet or buy a dragon toy, we shall be shooting dragons. And remember, we know a thing or two about the flying beasts, so prepare for surprises.
The Time: 19:00 – 21:00 (after the Friday shooting session).
The Shooting: you can shoot as many arrows and as many dragons as you want, but there is a catch. Every arrow will cost you 10 cents. Every cent collected will be donated to the St. Anna Children Hospital in Vienna. Selected pictures will be uploaded on the Arco-Vienna and on the World Dragon Shooting Day Facebook pages.
Since this is a charity event, there will be no evening fee. Donating is encouraged instead. Finger food and refreshments will be provided.
The Most Important: Many special thanks to Zoë Woodcock, Karl Günther and Avar Windfighters for bringing this event to our attention.
Looking forward to seeing you there,
The Arco-Vienna Team

In the last few weeks we have been seeing more and more trigger-happy archery friends; some evenings were even fully booked. Since we want to give everyone a fair shooting opportunity we have decided to introduce a third archery evening at Arco-Vienna.

Train like a champ!
With Erich Horinek world champion in field archery
Has this ever happened to you: you position yourself in front of the target, visualize the perfect hit, release the arrow and… shoot a balloon one hand span to the side? You know that you can make a precise shot, but you seem to be missing one elusive component.
So have we. But where is a will, there is a way. And our way is simple – find the best archer around and ask for help.
Erich Horinek is a world champion in field archery. Some of you have seen the way he shoots, others have taken part in his mental training seminar. Now, he is back with another exciting workshop:
Video seminar for the perfect shot!
Using a high-speed camera to film your shooting sequence at 300 frames per second, Erich will pinpoint exactly what you should focus on for your next step in archery precision. You can take your pictures and videos home and meditate on them. You will also have an opportunity to discuss materials, equipment, physical and mental techniques.
Time: Sat 28.11 (14:00-18:00) Place: Arco Vienna Club Fee on request
Participants: maximum 8 people, pre-registration mandatory at [email protected]

Third Annual Archery Safari
Three days – Three parcours – Alpine challenge <---<<< 4th to 6th June 2015 >>>---> Once per year, Arco-Vienna organises, in addition to the normal indoor shooting in Vienna, a very special trip for all interested members. We call this the Archery Safari. In three days, we visited three of the most beautiful 3D-parcours in Austria and had a wonderful time. 3D-archery out in the forest is absolutely fantastic. But don't take us on our word, see the video we made for you! We have packed our best moments in these exciting 6 minutes. The archery parcours of Red Cloud in the Rottenmann Valley, the famous "Robin Hood Land" on the Planneralm and the singular Allerheiligen in the area of Semmering were simply breathtaking. And very, very tiring. We are looking forward to your comments and feedback on Facebook and Google+, where you can always find more photos and information about Arco-Vienna. |
Sunday, 25 April 2105: an archery hike in a 3D parcours
For the first time in our (modest) shooting history, we organised an introduction to 3D archery to all our new archers. We visited the nearby archery parcours in Irenental (15 km West of Vienna) and experienced how diverse shooting outside can be.
It was a marvelous day of walking in the forest and testing our skill against different targets (animal models). Great long shots and many challenges were overcome and made for excellent memories. In the end, we restored our strength in a nearby restaurant.
Participants: all members were invited, especially new ones
Important: good shoes with grip soles

Return of the Easter Bunnies
First, it was wild beasts. Then came the zombies. Now it's time for Easter bunnies. Unnatural, brightly coloured... and with tasty chocolate inside. Arco Vienna Club invites you to an Easter-themed archery evening on Thursday, 02 April 2015. We will start with normal training from 17:00 to 19:00 and continue with shooting games, relaxed conversation and finally, a glass of wine to enhance the chocolate taste of victory. And where? In the Praterstraße 9/14, of course.

A master shot by Jasmin
This shot must absolutely be documented!
Robin Hood would be so jealous.
On the day of her basic training, Jasmin Langer shot her arrow with another arrow.
The probability: 1:10000
Congratulations, Jasmin, keep up the good work!

16 December 2014: A Christmas party full of laughter
We had a great Christmas party with presents and balloons on a huge (paper cutout) Christmas tree.
After many exciting games, such as Pop-Rudolph's-Nose and a Christmas duel, we moved to the highlight - archers were supposed to shoot themselves a present from the Christmas tree. The good feeling was palpable and the laughter was roaring!
Here is the link to our Christmas video >>>------>
We from Arco Vienna wish all our archer friends and friendly archers a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! See you next year! We start the post-holiday practice on Monday, 05 January 2015.

24 November 2014: Archery game: Gap Shooting
A simple challenge. We hang a balloon on the target face. Then we hang an Ethafoam plate 2 metres in front of the target. The plate sports a 25 cm hole. The task is to hit the balloon through the whole, while the plate is swinging left and right. And of course, do it before your shooting buddy robs you of the popping glory! Watch us do it here.

Our team is improving! Last Saturday, Claudio successfully completed a Level 1 Trainer course. Now we have three trainers in Arco-Vienna, which continuously improve the quality and innovation of your shooting experience. In October 2014, Konstantin completed a B-Level Judge course, which means that now our archers can get their world-record-shattering shots properly documented.

09 Oct 2014: An archery game highlight
Our new video about the "Archery Duel" game is now online. We are continuously inventing new archery games and this one is as simple as it is exciting.
Two archers with 3 arrows each face 3 foam crows. The one who manages to shoot two birds down faster than the opponent, wins. You need to nock quickly, shoot quickly and also hit accurately. It is all kinds of fun!
A true challenge and a welcome variation from the slow concentrated targeting.

A big thanks to all of you who came on Thursday to commemorate our first anniversary and first archery cinema for the new winter season! We are very happy that so many of you participated in our small competition! Congratulations to the winner! The runners up should not anger themselves, there will be plenty of occasions for a rematch ;-)
We were also very happy that almost all members were present during our news-and-presentation session, and during our plunder-the-smörgåsbord session too. We were pleasantly surprised to see how much you liked our archery cinema. The enthusiasm and discipline, with which the hunters shot and took turns was exemplary.

First ever ArcheryCinema - with real shooting!If you want to experience a real Bow-Safari in the middle of the city, without getting drenched by rains or scorched by the sun, we are just the place to visit.

14 archers had a lot of fun by shooting 3 different parcours in Charinthia: Velden, Pörtschach and Krumpedorf. We spent all the day out in the forest and all the evenings with dining and story telling. Some photos of this event you find in our gallery |
