Typical hazards & measures
Bow string contact injuries
— Provide participants with protective equipment such as arm guards, finger tabs, or gloves. Encourage wearing long sleeves to reduce string contact. Teach correct hand, arm, and finger placement to avoid injury, and regularly check and correct shooting form. Provide eye protection for younger or inexperienced participants if needed.
Misuse of bows and arrows
— Participants must be briefed on proper use of bows and arrows before starting. Verify understanding through questions, and supervise at all times to prevent misuse. Instruct participants to wear closed-toe shoes to avoid injury from dropped arrows.
Public entering the range
— Mark range boundaries clearly with signs or flags to prevent unauthorized access. Instructors must monitor the area and be prepared to stop the session if anyone enters the range unexpectedly.
Behavioral issues during shooting
— Establish clear behavioral expectations before each session. Misconduct should result in removal from the activity, with instructors closely monitoring for compliance with safety rules.
Slips and trips
— Inspect the range for hazards, like uneven ground or obstacles, before each session. Participants should be instructed not to run while on the range, particularly when handling arrows. Ensure they wear sturdy footwear for outdoor terrain.
