• Shoot a maximum of six arrows per end. Consider shooting less if others are finished and waiting for you. Be respectful.

• When approaching targets look for arrows that may be lodged in the ground.

• Approach targets from the side to avoid walking into an arrow.

• When drawing arrows out of a target, ensure no one is standing in the path of the arrows being pulled out. Ensure everyone is standing to the side or well back when retrieving arrows. Take turns.

• Never run on a practice or target range. Especially when carrying arrows (walk).

• Keep all gear except spotting scopes at the back of the shooting path.

• Place targets off the center of the butt to reduce wear and tear.

• If you are the last one to leave, make sure everything is locked up.

• Keep all language and activities family friendly.
