Each member is responsible for ensuring that he/she, all members of his/her family, and all guests, are familiar with the following rules, and that these rules are followed to the letter.

The Board is empowered to expel from the club any person guilty of gross violation of any safety rule.

To ensure your safe and enjoyable use of our archery range, all members and our guests are required to read and heed this notice in full as a condition of continued use of the range.  This notice consists of three parts: a description of the natural hazards of our range, reasons for immediate expulsion, and a complete set of board-approved safety rules and policies.

• Membership card must be on each member at all times while on range.
   

• Smoking only in designated areas around clubhouse and refreshment stands.
   

• No alcohol consumption allowed while shooting a tournament.
   

• No glass containers on the range at any time.
   

• Door's  is to be closed and locked  if your the last club member to leave.
   

• Guests are allowed to visit with member.  After those visits, the guest will be welcome to join the club or to come on Sundays and pay the $5 fee for range use.
   

• Negligence in the use of archery equipment, horseplay, and dangerous, rude, or belligerent behavior of a member, his/her family member or his/her guest are not tolerated and are grounds for suspension or expulsion of the member from the club.
   

• Shoot only at targets set up by the range master.  For target butts set up as part of the field range, shoot only from designated or otherwise safe positions.  Ensure that you shoot from positions that provide an unobstructed shot and a safe backstop.
   

• Never shoot when the safety of the shot is in doubt.  Notify range captain or board member of problem immediately.
   

• Nock arrows to the bowstring only immediately before drawing to shoot.  Never walk the range with a nocked arrow.

• Always be certain that there are no other persons within a 30 degree arc centered on the target, of any shot being considered.
   

• Never shoot into the brush, where the arrow may travel into an area that cannot be seen before the shot is taken.
   

• Always be sure to take into account the possibility of an arrow being deflected by brush or branches, and do not take any shot when such a deflection could pose a hazard to other archers.
   

• Members are responsible for the safety of their equipment, as well as that of their children and guests, prior to shooting.
   

• Never attempt to shoot a cracked or otherwise defective arrow or an arrow that is too short for your draw length.
   

• Arrows may not be carried loose.  Each archer must use a quiver to store arrows while on the range.
   

• Before crossing the firing line at the practice range to pull arrows, ensure the range is clear, all archers have ceased shooting, and acknowledge the range is clear.  Bows should be hung up before retrieving arrows from bales on the practice range.
   

• Brodhead arrows are not to be shot at any targets on the range, except in the designated Brodhead Target.
   

• The use of  firearms and air guns on the Archery range is at all times prohibited.
   

• When behind a target, searching for arrows, lean your bow across the target, or have one of your group stand in front of the target to alert the archers approaching the shooting position as to your presence.
   

• Walk the range in the proper direction only, to avoid crossing the path of arrows shot from the opposite direction.  This applies to all areas of the range.
   

• The range is for the practice of archery only.  Hiking and sightseeing on the range during normal shooting times are not permitted, since arrow over flight of some of the field targets may land in areas that cannot be directly viewed from shooting stakes.
   

• Hunting, harming, and/or harassing of wildlife in any way is prohibited.  However, adult members are authorized to take prudent actions to protect themselves and others from potentially dangerous animals.
   

• All children are to be closely supervised at all times whether shooting a bow or gun.  They are to be warned of all hazards described above, and are encouraged to remain on established trails at all times.  Children who are incapable of understanding range hazards and controlling their own behavior must be directly and closely supervised at all times by a parent or guardian.  It is recommended that such children not be taken onto the range.  Children are to be discouraged from running on the range.
