Know and practice the archery safety rules. --> *Don't shoot straight up. *Never run on the archery range. *Approach the target from the side, not the front so you don't get poked by the arrows sticking out of the target. *Be sure your equipment is in good working order. *Be aware of who is around you at all times. *Don't "hide" behind the target. *Don't walk in front of another archer. *Don't talk on the shooting line. *While loading your bow be sure that the arrows are always pointing toward the target.
