Range safety
All shoots are under the direct supervision of a Director of Shooting (DOS) whose duties include the control of shooting.
This control is achieved by use of a whistle as follows;
· 2 Blasts Come to the shooting line.
· 1 Blast Shooting may commence.
· 3 Blasts Retrieve and score arrows.
· Multiple Blasts (5 blasts or more) Danger, stop shooting immediately.
When you are practising on the range everyone must walk to and from the targets at the same time. There is no room on or off the shooting line for any form of horseplay. Any drawn bow must be pointed towards the designated target and only then if it is intended to be shot.
Targets should be firmly anchored so they cannot tip over. Under no circumstance is shooting permitted if there is someone on the field near or behind the targets.
Take care to avoid contact with other archers when handling a bow and arrow.
Do not distract other archers while they are shooting. Archers are requested to keep chat to a minimum on the shooting line and not disturb archers by talking while they are shooting.
If a bow or arrow falls over the shooting line, the archer should wait until the archers on either side have finished before retrieving the equipment and then only if it has fallen within reach from the shooting position.
Alcohol should not be consumed before or during a shoot.
