Assassin’s Creed Shadows has 10 Horse Archery locations. Horse Archeries are exclusive to Yasuke (the male character). Naoe (female character) can’t find them. Yasuke is unlocked as a playable character after finishing Act 1 in the story.
On the map they are indicated by white question marks which turn into orange horse icons when going near them. They are short horse riding sequences during which you must shoot at targets while you move. To pass, you only need to hit the majority of the targets, but for a perfect score must hit all targets. The amount of targets will be displayed at the bottom of the screen by white dots. They reward you with knowledge points, XP, and new horse designs which can be equipped in the inventory. If you go there as Naoe you can switch characters in the inventory by holding
(PS5) /
(Xbox).
All of them are still obtainable after the story in free-roam, nothing is missable.
Tip: you can turn on aim assist to make this easier. From the world map open the System menu > Options > Gameplay > Aim Assist = Moderate or Full. It will then auto-aim at the targets.
