DabaLaba offers 2 lengths of archery tracks:
- The short course is ~1km long, 10 targets, runs along a pond, along the road through meadows, along a dam by the river (about 1.5h). Suitable for beginners and children.
- The long course is ~3.5km long, 20 targets, runs along a pond, through the forest, across meadows and along a dam by the river (about 3.5h). Suitable if you want a decent walk with a little challenge.
We will train everyone in basic archery techniques before you go on one of the tracks, and there will also be time to practice at the shooting range;
We offer classic longbows for shooting, each shooter also gets safety and comfort equipment;
The targets are in 3D format, all the targets are animals found in Latvia, next to each target there is an info board about each of the animals with interesting facts. Feel free to ask about the animals, our group captain will be ready to tell you lots of interesting things about them;
At the end of both the long and the short track, we will treat all shooters with archers’ soup at our picnic area at the big table.
