The Marsberg archery course is located on the site of a former copper mine and covers an area of 5.9 ha. Currently 3.4 ha are used to create 2 rounds with 14 and 18 stations each. Sturdy footwear is essential as the terrain is very steep and stony in places. The course requires a certain level of fitness.

The course can be used by members of Eresburg Bogenschützen e.V. and by guest archers with their own equipment. The rental of archery equipment or the organization of events is not intended.
At the central point, the "village square", there is the registration area, the shooting targets with different distances and several huts for resting or sheltering in bad weather. Visitors to the archery course will also find a sanitary cabin and free lockers here.
There are "RED" courses for experienced archers and "YELLOW" courses for all other archers. The two course rounds with a total of 34 stations and over 60 targets offer shots at all distances and different shooting angles. The targets currently consist of a mixture of 2, 2.5 and 3D. The "WHITE" course is available with 12 field archery targets. Distances according to DSB.
An attempt is made to make the shots challenging. This includes the deliberate limitation of the shooting areas by e.g. trees as well as the integration of hollows and terrain edges.
There are 3 different shooting positions available.
"YELLOW" stake: shorter and also easy to shoot with lighter bows
Peg "RED": Further away, narrower shooting window etc.
Peg "BLUE": For compound bows, flat trajectories, compound bows are permitted up to a draw weight of 60 lbs.
Registration must be complete and submitted before shooting! Information on payment options on the website!
