Club Etiquette

Most of these are just common sense and are what we do anyway but it is still worth clarifying a few points.

Help set up and put away all equipment – it’s good for warming up and down.
No loud noises or conversation on or near the shooting line.
Whilst shooting, wait for neighbours to complete their shots before moving on and off the line.
The field captain decides when to shoot and collect.
Anyone can call “FAST” if they see a person or animal coming within the perimeter

Upon hearing “FAST”, all shooting must stop and all arrows should be returned to their quivers.

If your bow is 20lbs or less in draw weight you may carry on shooting the rest of the end

Lost arrows MUST be found since we shoot on a public space

The archer cannot resume shooting until the arrow is found

We’ll all help to look for the missing arrow

A committee member or coach can suggest an archer shoots at a closer distance if they are missing too often at their chosen target
Coaching is not permitted unless an archer specifically asks for it
Please do ask if you need to know anything or if you’d like some coaching or advice

We’re all here to help

Enjoy your archery!
