A Mii playing archery on the Swaying Bridge.
Archery is a sport in Wii Sports Resort. It is one of the three sports that does not have any minigames, along with Wakeboarding and Golf.
Gameplay[]
The point of archery is singular: fire an arrow with a bow as close to the target's bullseye as you can.
Hold the Nunchuk in your dominant hand and the Wii Remote in your other hand. Hold them both vertically like a bow. Now hold down the 
button on the remote and move it around for aim adjustment. Next, hold down 
on the Nunchuk and pull it back like an arrow. Watch the onscreen circle to determine the strength of your shot; the smaller the circle, the farther your arrow will go. Let go of to release your arrow and see where it flies!
Tips[]
- Don't forget to factor in the wind! Watch the wind meter in the corner of the screen, and aim accordingly to account for it.
- At long-distance targets, be sure to aim above the target to allow for the arc of the arrow's descent.
- Watch how the wind affects other players' shots!
Stamps[]
| Name | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bull Stampede | Hit the center of the target and get 10 points with all arrows in one stage. | You can earn this Stamp on any difficulty level, so you may as well get it on the Stage 1 of the Beginner level! |
| Sure Shot | Hit the target with all 3 arrows in each of the 4 stages. | Like the previous Stamp, you can complete this on any difficult setting, so stick with Beginner. Note that you can't earn this Stamp in Team Play. |
| Century Shot | Hit the game's targets 100 times. | Just accumulate target hits (the score doesn't matter) as you play through the Archery activities until you've hit them 100 times. As usual, the easiest way to achieve this is in the Beginner difficulty. |
| A Secret to Everybody | Hit the secret target in every stage of every difficulty level. | In each stage there is a hidden secret target, usually off in the distance. Look for them slightly behind objects. If you can't find one, fire arrows randomly; when you're close, the camera will zoom in on the target. |
| Sharpshooter | Score 10 points with every arrow in all 4 rounds. | Luckily you can earn this Stamp in the Beginner difficulty level. Aim just above the bullseye for the best chance of hitting it. Note that you can't achieve this Stamp in Team Play. |
