A few years back, I set up an area in the backyard for my family to practice their archery. Since my property borders a corn field, I knew I had one safety issue resolved by having all targets positioned away from the house and away from anyone who could be harmed.Like all sports, archery has rules and most of the rules are designed to keep archers and spectators safe. So, I established some time honored rules that all family members (and guests) are requiring to keep in order to safely and confidently enjoy the sport of archery.
- Always shoot arrows at the target. Arrows can be dangerous weapons and should never to be aimed at anything other than the target.
- Inspect the arrow before shooting. If the arrow shaft is damaged it could cause the arrow to snap and injure the archer. A cracked arrow could go off course and harm a spectator. Damaged arrows are unpredictable and not safe to shoot.
- Only when everyone has finished shooting before moving forward to collect the arrows. Make sure no-one is standing in front of the target or in the way of the withdrawn arrows.
- Never pull back and release a bow string without an arrow attached. This could damage the bow or injure the archer. Additionally, a bow should not be loaded with an arrow unless standing on the "shooting line" and the archer has signaled the start of their shoot.
- Targets should be set up to insure that no one can be accidentally hit by a stray arrow.
Archery is fun, but one must not forget it can also be a dangerous sport. By following basic guidelines everyone can and will enjoy this great sport.
