Typical hazards & measures
Injuries from collecting arrows
— Establish clear procedures for retrieving arrows, including stopping all shooting before collection. Only allow retrieval when all participants are behind the shooting line.
Inadequate supervision
— Ensure that staff-to-participant ratios are maintained at all times, adjusting based on the experience level and age of participants. Regularly assess the need for additional staff during busier sessions or with larger groups. Supervisors should actively engage with participants, providing guidance and support throughout the session.
Poor briefing on safety procedures
— Deliver a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session. Include demonstrations of key safety behaviors, and require participants to repeat or demonstrate their understanding.
Accidental arrow release
— Instruct participants to nock and draw arrows only when on the shooting line and facing targets. Emphasize proper technique and alertness to avoid accidental release, stopping the session if necessary.
Fatigue during extended sessions
— Incorporate regular breaks into the schedule, allowing participants time to rest. Monitor participants for signs of fatigue, and adjust session length accordingly.
