Individuals who fail to comply will be instructed to leave the property.
bulletShooting Line Safety: When shooting on the flat/field range in particular, check that all archers on the shooting line have stopped shooting and it is dear to retrieve arrows from the targets. Verify that it is safe to proceed by yelling, "CLEAR?" along the shooting line, and do not advance until you have confirmation from all archers that is dear to proceed. Likewise, when preparing to shoot, ensure that there is no one down range before shooting. Verify visually for unattended equipment at the shooting line or equipment/clothing placed in front of a target, or any other dues that may indicate that someone may be down range. Confirm by yelling, "IS ANYONE DOWN RANGE?", if you have the slightest doubt as to whether it's safe to shoot.
bulletPets must be on a leash and controlled by their owner.

bulletWhen retrieving arrows from behind the target sheds, always leave your bow in front of the target if shooting alone, or have someone stand in front of the target, to alert other archers to your presence.
