archery safety standards

Archery safety standards are designed to prevent accidents and injuries by establishing proper practices. These include inspecting equipment for damage, using appropriate targets and backstops, and maintaining a safe distance from others while shooting. Archers should wear safety gear, like arm guards and finger tabs, and ensure the shooting area is clear. Always point the bow and arrow in a safe direction, never dry fire (release without an arrow), and follow club or range rules. Proper training and supervision are essential, especially for beginners, to promote responsible and safe archery practice.
