Safe Archery Practices

Safe archery practices involve handling equipment responsibly to prevent injury. Always point the bow and arrow away from people and animals, and never dry-fire (release the string without an arrow). Use a proper, secure backing, and inspect gear regularly for damage. Wear appropriate protective gear like arm guards and finger tabs. Follow range rules, wait for a clear signal to shoot, and only shoot when it's safe. Keep the shooting area clear, and ensure others are a safe distance away. These practices help ensure safety for everyone involved while enjoying the sport.
