What do kayaking and yoga have in common with archery I hear yourself ask? Well, you can now practise either one of these activities alongside the classic bow and arrow. Intrigued? You should be!
Archery in Malta (AIM) have teamed up with ‘off the mat yoga’ and ‘Get Out and Kayak' to create the perfect team building experience! The brainchild behind this idea is none other than Ray Napier, the founder of Archery in Malta. Hailing from Scotland, Ray is an archery addict and outdoor aficionado determined to offer enthusiasts a new perspective on this ancient pastime.
This fresh take is by no means intended to eclipse the sport’s traditional core. Quite the contrary, his aim is to draw more individuals to the core essence of the sport, celebrating its long-standing traditions while introducing fresh ways to engage.
Having successfully merged kayaking and archery with target practice, Archery in Malta, along with 'Get out and Kayak' are now introducing a real-life version of the board game battleships, manifested as tag archery!
Teamwork here is key as people are put into two-seater kayaks where one teammate steers the kayak while the other aims to defend and “sink opponents”. And yes, the arrows float!
At first glance, yoga and archery might seem worlds apart. However, both emphasise fluidity, concentration, and controlled movement.
The breath-to-action sync in yoga echoes in the draw and release of an arrow. The experts at ‘off the mat - Yoga + Movement’ along with AIM instructors will be with you every step of the way.

Its core team, led by Ray alongside respected instructors Lawrence Kruger Pulis, Tony Galea & Johan Poell, are united in their passion for this fantastic passtime. Their goal is to ensure participants depart as more skilled archers.
For them, it is their firm belief that engaging in these activities not only strengthens skills but also fosters camaraderie, collaboration, and trust among participants.
With its roots anchored in tradition and branches exploring modernity, Archery in Malta invites all to experience the timeless thrill of the bow and arrow, whether you’re a seasoned archer or a keen novice.
