Archery is an activity Sims can partake in as a hobby. This can be practiced at archery ranges, which are featured in The Sims: Vacation, as premium content in The Sims 3 Store, and reintroduced in The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits.
The Sims: Vacation[]
| Archery Range | |
|---|---|
| What is the...point...of a campground without a little archery range? Sims can't resist bending a bow and letting one fly in this classic test of skill and patience, and it's a perfect way for kids to learn about military history! Let them pretend they're Robin Hood or William Tell or an English longbowman...while you pretend not to laugh all the way to the bank! | |

Sims on vacation can have fun by trying their hand at archery at archery ranges, and may win some prize tokens if they shoot well enough. An archery range is only one tile wide, so several of them can be (and often are) placed side-by-side. Therefore, several Sims can shoot at once, even though a range can only be used by one Sim at a time. While using archery ranges, Sims with a higher body skill are usually more accurate.

| Archer's Gauntlet | |
|---|---|
| |
| What is better than shooting a simple target with a bow and arrow? The obvious answer is to add swinging blades and a dummy with an apple on its head! This high-tech archery contraption (by medieval standards) even includes a torch to set fire to your arrows! So pull back the bow strings, let the arrows fly, and see if you can beat the high scores on the range! | |

Archery returns with the archery gauntlet object in The Sims 3 Store as premium content. It is available for 500 SimPoints, and is also part of The Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire set.
Sims can choose to "Practice Archery" or to "Challenge the Board". Each option have 4 difficulty levels: Basic Shot, Quick Shot, Challenge Shot, and Extreme Shot.
High scores are kept for each individual range, similar to driving ranges[TS3:ST] and pinball machines.[Store]
Very strong performance by a Sim at the archery range, can give the
Eagle Eye and/or
Marksman moodlets that give +20 each for 4 hours.
The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits[]

| Bullseye! Archery Target | |
|---|---|
| |
| No bulls were hurt in the making of this target. And, ideally, no Sims will be either as they practice archery with it. No promises, though! | |

| Ranger's Esteem Archery Target | |
|---|---|
| |
| An archery target built with elite, high- quality materials, worthy of only the finest archers. For anyone who knows their stuff, this target would absolutely be a point of pride. It's clear that the right to use it was earned through hard work and diligence, and not the easy way out! | |

Archery returns as an activity and skill in The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits.
Sims child and older can learn archery through the Bullseye! Archery Target. At level 5 of the archery skill, Sims can shoot apples off of a Sim's head.
Archery targets can be found at Camp Gibbi Gibbi within the neighborhood of Wanderwood Wilds in the world of Gibbi Point, but can also be bought from build mode. Park workers who reach level 10 of the Park Ranger branch will recieve the Ranger's Esteem Archery Target.
Children can start a "Mastery Archery" challenge as a formative moment; this will help get them the "Into Archery as a Kid" formative moment trait, allowing them to stay focused longer when they're an adult.
