Safety Rules


The Fast Rule
FAST means stop what you are doing. Do NOT release your arrow from your bow. Come down from draw and place arrow back in quiver and take a step back from the shooting line. Shooting can start again only when the field captain indicates that it is clear to do so.  This is because FAST is shouted or whistled only when there is a danger in the shooting area.  Anyone can shout FAST. The whistle signal for FAST is a series of three or more blasts.

You must NEVER turn the bow away from the target when an arrow is on the bow.

You must NEVER cross the waiting line until it is your turn to shoot.

You must NEVER push, trip or hinder in anyway any other member present.

The whistle commands are:  One whistle to start shooting.  Two Whistles to collect arrows.  Three or more means FAST.
