Typical hazards & measures
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.
Overdrawing the bow
— Teach participants to draw the bow to a safe and manageable level, using demonstrations and consistent feedback. Instructors should monitor for overdrawing and intervene as necessary.
Lack of emergency equipment
— Ensure that a first aid kit is readily accessible on-site, and that staff are trained in first aid and emergency response. Regularly check the kit for missing or expired items.
Broken arrows
— Inspect arrows for cracks or damage before every session. Remove any compromised arrows from use immediately. Have a stock of spare arrows to replace any broken ones.
Safeguarding
— Implement a safeguarding policy that includes background checks for all staff and volunteers. Provide regular training on recognizing and responding to safeguarding concerns. Ensure that all participants know who to approach if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Have clear procedures in place for reporting incidents.
