Here we will discuss safety.  Archery is a sport born out of one the most effective killing devices created by man.  In a recent league of most deadly weapons, man himself topped the the list followed by the Kalashnikov AK47 automatic rifle and in third place came the bow and arrow.

There will be a few pages on the subject of safety and they are as follows:

1. Commands and Areas

2. Shooting Rules

3. Arrow Retrieval

4. Range Layout

5. Control of Shooting and Group Handling

6. Working with children

7. Child protection and Abuse

Archery must always be properly organised with a competent person in charge at all times.  The safety rules and commands are designed to try and ensure safe shooting takes place, but the rules are basically common sense.

At all times at the beginning of a shoot checks should be made for long hair, jewellery (specifically facial and body piercings), baggy clothing and anything else that can be tangled in the equipment, thereafter the safety rules apply.
