ARCHERY SAFETY RULES
1.	Inspect all equipment before use.
A.	Check for delaminated or damaged limbs.
B.	Check your bowstring for fraying, especially at the nock loops. After stringing your bow, make sure the loops are in the bow nocks.
C.	Check your arrows for possible splintering, make sure they are long enough for your draw length, and at least fairly straight.
2.	No horseplay on the range.
3.	When ready to shoot, wait at the line. The Rangemaster will declare “THE RANGE IS CLEAR” when it is o.k. to shoot.
4.	Pay attention to where other archers stand at the line. You should not be behind them if you plan to shoot, and NEVER in front of them.
5.	Do not place an arrow to the bow or string until the Rangemaster has declared “THE RANGE IS CLEAR”, and you are in proper position to shoot.
6.	Do not move forward past the line, toward the targets, until the Rangemaster says “ RETRIEVE”. 
7.	Proceed directly to retrieve your arrows, making sure to pick up any that lay on the ground first.
8.	Only one person at a time should approach the target. The back end of an arrow can be dangerous. The proper method of arrow extraction will be demonstrated.
