Safety Rules

• Absolutely NO running while on the range it is very slippery when wet.
• Know your target and shoot only at it.
• Never point or aim a drawn bow at another person.
• Never draw or shoot your bow when anyone is between you and your target.
• Never shoot at a target or object until you are sure that it is capable of stopping your arrows and the area behind and around the target is clear.
• Never shoot arrows straight up into the air or in any direction where you might destroy property or endanger life.
• Never allow anyone to retrieve arrows until all arrows have been shot.
• Never pull back and release a bowstring without an arrow attached. This is called "dry firing a bow". Each time it occurs you significantly reduce the life expectancy of the bow and may cause immediate damage to both the bow and yourself.
• Do not attempt to draw your bow beyond its maximum draw length as damage could result.
• Do not cross the shooting line for any reason until "All Clear" has been signaled and instructed to do so by the instructor.
• Carry all arrows with the tips pointing down.
• Watch for arrows bouncing out of target.
