SAFETY RULES

1. Remember that safety is the foremost consideration by all users.

2. Remember at all times that a bow and arrow is a deadly weapon that is as dangerous as a gun in the
hands of an irresponsible person.

3. Never release an arrow when you cannot see where it will land. Never shoot an arrow straight up.
Make sure the target is clear before you shoot. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND BEYOND!

4. Always point your arrow tip in a safe direction. POINT YOUR ARROW IN A SAFE
DIRECTION!

anyone holding a target or allow someone to hold a target at which you shoot.
