*Note*
Don't worry if these rules seem confusing; we will explain them when you come to practice.
Proper Attire
Short sleeve tops are recommended or long sleeve tops that fit tightly on the arms.
Sneakers are required in the Barnard LeFrak Gymnasium.
Safety
Always use a stringer to string your bow.
Always use a finger tab and an arm guard when shooting.
Use a chest protector if necessary.
Never release the string if you are drawing a bow without an
arrow loaded; this is called dryfiring.
Keep your arrows in your quiver until you are on the shooting line.
Check that no one is in front of the shooting line before you nock an arrow.
In the Barnard LeFrak Gymnasium, check that no one is running
on the track above as well.
If the arrow falls off the arrow rest, take down; do not shoot it.
Treat arrows that fall on the floor past the shooting line as
arrows that have been shot; retrieve them later.
Do not walk past the shooting line for
any reason until everyone has stepped off the shooting line.
Check that no one is behind you when you pull your arrows.
If the string keeps hitting your arm when you shoot, let the
coach know.
Courtesy
No more than three archers should shoot simultaneously
on the same target butt.
Be careful not to tilt your bow in the way of the archers next to you when nocking an arrow.
Do not talk to or touch the archers next to you when they are at full draw.
Wait until the archers next to you have completed their shots
before stepping on or off the shooting line.
Do not shoot more than five arrows per end.
If you are the last person shooting, do not shoot more than one arrow.
If you are the last person shooting, shout "clear";
when you step off the shooting line to indicate that it is safe
for everyone to retrieve their arrows.
Leave your bow on the bow stand when you retrieve your arrows.
Hold conversations behind the shooting line, not at the target butts.
Assist in setting up and taking down targets at the beginning and end of practice.
