Archery Rules

Archers are to always follow the instructors’ instructions.

Archers shoot only at the target directly opposite their shooting position.

Archers may not raise the bow arm to shoot until the signal to start shooting is given.

Shooting will be in one direction only – at the designated target.

Archers should aim continuously toward their target when drawing their bow. The bow must not be drawn in such a way that if the string was accidentally released the arrow would fly out of the safety zone.

Archers are not permitted to collect arrows unless given direction by the instructor.

NO FLIP-FLOPS OR OPEN-TOED FOOTWEAR IS ALLOWED. Any jewelry or watches must be removed from the participant’s arms, any loose upper clothing must be tucked in and long hair tied back.
