Shoot only at your target • Leave dropped arrows on the ground until told to retrieve arrows • Always walk at the archery range

  42. Sometimes RULES are hard to follow!

  43. “Oh my gosh, Andrew! Don’t eat those! … Those are poison arrows!”

  44. How would you deal with a problem archer at camp? • Repeat the rule and find out if they understand it. • Determine if they are willing to follow the rule. • Remove them from the range if problem continues. • Have responsible person escort them to administration for follow-up.

  45. VOICE COMMANDS WHISTLE COMMANDS “Archers to the shooting line” “Begin shooting” “Walk forward and get your arrows” “STOP SHOOTING!” Archery Range Commands Two Blasts One Blast Three Blasts Five or more Blasts (series)

  46. Archery Range Procedures • Wait behind the waiting line until you hear 2 whistle blasts or “Archers to the shooting line.” Pick up your bows and straddle the shooting line. • Keep your arrows in your quiver until you hear 1 whistle blast or “Begin shooting.” • After you have shot all of your arrows, step back from the shooting line, set your bow on the rack, and wait behind the waiting line. • After everyone is done shooting and behind the waiting line, the instructor will blow the whistle 3 times or say “Walk forward and get your arrows. Stop at the target line.”

  47. Pulling Your Arrows • One archer at a time, from each target, may go forward from the target line to pull their arrows. • Stand to the side of the target, and make sure that no one is standing behind your arrows. • Pull your arrows out one at a time by gripping the shaft near the target face with one hand and pulling the arrow with the other hand on the target face for leverage. • Put your arrows into your quiver as you pull them or after you have pulled them all grasp them by the points. Walk back to the waiting line
