Archery accident prevention

Archery accident prevention focuses on ensuring safety for archers and bystanders. Key practices include using proper equipment, such as well-maintained bows and arrows, and wearing protective gear like arm guards and finger tabs. Always shoot in designated areas, such as ranges, and be aware of your surroundings to prevent injuries from stray arrows. Maintain clear communication, especially when others are shooting, and never aim at anything other than the target. Proper bow handling, including not drawing the bowstring without an arrow and keeping the bow pointed downrange, further enhances safety in the sport.
