Typical hazards & measures
Allergic reactions (e.g., insects, plants)
— Encourage participants to disclose allergies before the session. Provide first aid measures and carry antihistamines for common allergic reactions. Monitor the site for potential allergens.
Arrow ricochet
— Ensure targets are made from appropriate materials that will not cause arrows to rebound. Set up backstops or netting behind targets to catch stray arrows.
Loose clothing catching on equipment
— Require participants to wear fitted clothing, and provide armguards to prevent loose sleeves from catching. Instructors should inspect clothing before allowing participants to shoot.
Sudden wind gusts
— Monitor weather conditions and provide guidance on how to shoot safely in windy conditions. Adjust the session if wind speed increases to unsafe levels, or postpone it if necessary.
Improper target setup
— Ensure that targets are securely set up at a safe distance from participants, with clear lines of fire. Regularly check for stability of target stands and adjust as needed.
