5. Archery 

Aim for your target until you hit the bull’s eye! Archery has always been a popular sport for so long. It is also considered one of the oldest art forms of ancient times. It has been widely used to provide protection and was called “a man’s companion.” However, it is not very common for people to practice archery these days. Why not try something old in a modern way?? ATV Adventures Rizal opened their Outdoor Extreme Facility for people to experience that archery is always a fun thing to do!

Before or during the activity, you need to follow these safety rules:

• Never point your bow at anyone, even if there’s no arrow drawn (this is important for creating proper shooting habits).
• Never fire the arrow high into the air as you cannot predict where it’s going to land. An exception is when you’re participating in a flight archery competition.
• Keep your arrow aimed towards the ground as you nock it.
• It’s strongly recommended that you wear an arm guard.
• Never draw an arrow if there are any people between you and your target, even if you don’t intend to shoot yet.

• Never over-draw your recurve bow (over-drawing is when you pull the string further than the actual length of your arrow). This can result in serious injury and damage to your equipment.
• Always use a bow-stringer when stringing your bow.
• If you are using wooden arrows, always check them for cracks or splintering before your shooting session.
• Make it a habit to always check the bow limbs for any damage before you start shooting.

Fee: 350 php (minimum of 2 pax)

Inclusions: Unlimited arrows, Target Paper and Equipment

4. Paintball

They say, “shooting is a louder form of meditation.” And that’s a fact! Guns and other weapons are not always a negative thing. We all have different ways on how to reload ourselves for all the stressors of life, and if you’re that kind of person who enjoys something extreme and louder, you should definitely join an intense paintball match!

How does the game work? Two teams will compete with each other to eliminate players by hitting them with spherical-dye filled pellets and crossing into their opponents’ territory. It not only triggers your adrenaline rush, but also develops teamwork and social skills.

Fee: 350 php (minimum of 2 pax)

Inclusions: 50 bullets, Gears, Vest, Masks and Paintball Gun

3. Horseback Riding

“No hour of life is wasted that is spent in a saddle.” -Wisnton Churchill

Dogs are man’s best friend, but a horse can also be a good companion! Gone are the days when horses were used as the most common mode of transportation. But we can turn back the time and make it happen for a moment! Come close to nature and experience horseback riding while enjoying the panoramic view of mountain ranges.

Safety is the number one priority of ATV Adventures Rizal, so rest assured that the horses are well-behaved and a guide will follow you along the way.

2. Camping
