Always point arrows and the bow at the target

Never Aim up or above the target - always shoot straight at the target.

Never attempt to shoot a bow without an arrow in it - dry shooting

Always stay behind the shooting line unless told it is safe - 2 Whistles to collect arrows

If you hear FAST then you must not shoot any arrows.  Remove arrows from the bow - This is a command to STOP SHOOTING immediately.

If you are not shooting stand behind the waiting line

Do not talk to anyone on the shooting line and if you talk to others behind the waiting line, do so quietly.

Archery is a quiet sport so please leave all radios at home and TURN YOUR MOBILE OFF!

Do not run on an archery range

If you want to look at another Archer's equipment - ask them and DO NOT TOUCH until you are told you can!
