Range etiquette
INDOOR RANGE
​
-
Always keep your arrows pointed down range.
-
Shoot only from the designated shooting line when shooting inside the indoor range or on the adjacent outdoor static range.
-
Straddle the shooting line with one foot on each side of the line when shooting.
-
Give your fellow shooters plenty of space, and never cross into their shooting lane with your body or equipment.
-
Shoot in unison with others on the line
-
Shoot only 3 arrows per end
-
Once you’ve shot all your arrows, step back from the shooting line, place your bow on the rack and wait until all archers are finished shooting. Retrieve arrows as a group.
-
The last archer to finish their “end” should then ask “Clear?” and wait for a response before anyone walks downrange to retrieve their arrows.
-
When pulling arrows, make sure no one is standing behind you.
-
Be respectful and supportive of fellow archers.
-
Ask permission before touching the equipment of other archers.
-
Only walk down range when it is clear to do so.
-
Stand on the same shooting line as other archers, not in front of or behind them.
-
Garbage cans are provided. Please use them.
