Archery Range Rules
SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST!
Rules are ALWAYS posted on-site at the range
Anyone (participant or spectator) found not adhering to the below outlined rules, will be IMMEDIATELY asked to leave
- ALWAYS keep a loaded bow with the arrow pointing downrange toward the target.
- ALWAYS make sure there is an arrow in the bow when you draw — NEVER dry fire.
- NEVER run or fool around on a range.
Remember, the nock is more dangerous than the point. Be careful with it. - ALWAYS use an armguard as well as finger tabs for bows with pull weights of 20lbs or more
- ALWAYS use arrows that are longer than your draw length and acceptable to your bow’s poundage.
- When you’ve finished your arrows, ALWAYS step back behind the Waiting line and hang up your bow.
- ALWAYS pick up arrows from the ground that are in your path; don’t step over them.
- ALWAYS pull arrows from the side. Check before pulling the first arrow. Then pull from where the arrow enters the target, not mid-shaft.
- ALWAYS carry or present arrows with two hands. If you have a quiver, use it!
- ALWAYS respect your fellow archer, which includes not talking on or near the shooting line,
and not withdrawing from the line if the archer behind you is drawing or shooting. - ALWAYS shoot for fun and consistency, not for bull’s-eyes.
- The use of crossbows or broad-heads in the range are STRICTLY PROHIBITED
