Shooting with the cross-bow in the ancient royal guild

It’s an awesome experience in a unique venue, which is usually closed to public. You will get a lesson from experienced members of the crossbow shooting guild. Guys will simply love this activity and feel like they’ve been teleported into the middle-ages. The guild was officially recognised in 1213 by the Duke of Brabant and is intimately linked with the earliest history of Brussels. Program includes initiation, contest and a drink – usually beer. The best shooter receives a souvenir offered by the President of the Guild. (more details)
