Age Requirements
  1. Children under the age of 6 years old are not permitted in the archery range.
  2. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian, and must be supervised at all times.
General
  1. Never point your bow at anyone, even if there’s no arrow drawn.
  2. Participants should not wear anything that could get tangled in the bow. Never wear scarves, hoods or anything excessively loose.
  3. Take off your watch and/or jewelry before you begin shooting.
  4. It’s strongly recommended that you wear an arm guard.
  5. Always use a bow-stringer when stringing your bow.
  6. Make sure your string is waxed regularly (if unsure of how often to do it, wax the string once every 100 arrows shot).
Pre-Fire
  1. If you drop anything in front of the shooting line, even if it’s within reach of your arm, do not retrieve it until the command has been given for everyone to stop shooting (usually “bows down” or “all clear”).
  2. Only use field points on the archery range (no broad-heads, hunting or practice, as they are more dangerous to handle and will damage most practice targets).
  3. Always check your arrows for cracks or splintering before your shooting session.
  4. Make it a habit to always check the bow limbs for any damage before you start shooting.
  5. If you notice signs of wear on the string (for example separation of the string serving), replace it immediately – do not wait for it to become completely non-operational.
  6. Keep your arrow aimed towards the ground as you nock it.
  7. Never draw an arrow if there are any people between you and your target, even if you don’t intend to shoot yet.
  8. Absolutely no sky drawing.
Active Shooting
  1. Do not nock or draw an arrow unless you are at the shooting line and unless the instructor has given everyone the command to do so.
  2. If you hear the command “HOLD,” do not shoot an arrow even if it’s already nocked and the bow is drawn.
  3. Never fire the arrow high into the air. 
  4. Never dry fire your bow (pulling and releasing the string without an arrow seated); this will be dangerous to both you and your bow.
  5. Keep standing behind the shooting line and never cross it until the instructor gives a clear command for everyone to stop shooting.
  6. Never run while retrieving your arrows.
  7. Make sure no one is standing immediately behind you when pulling out an arrow from the target.
