Club rules and safety
Safety on the range is everyone's responsibility.
These rules keep everyone safe and protect the good name of the club. The committee may update them; the current version always appears here.
Range safety
- Shoot only when the range is declared clear and the shooting lane is empty.
- Never walk into the shooting lane while anyone is drawing or shooting.
- Wait in the safety shelter or behind the designated line when arrows are in flight.
- Never point a drawn bow — loaded or unloaded — anywhere but the target.
- Inspect your bow and arrows before use; do not use damaged equipment.
- Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
- Alcohol and archery do not mix: no one may shoot after drinking.
- Follow the instructions of the range officer or committee members at all times.
Conduct
- Treat team-mates, opponents, spectators and neighbours with respect.
- Banter is part of the game; abuse and harassment are not.
- Leave the ground as clean as you found it.
Membership
- Membership is personal and cannot be transferred.
- Members must keep their contact and emergency details up to date.
- The committee may suspend a membership for serious or repeated breaches of these rules.
