RULES OF THE RANGE
[Archery]
Safety of everyone is of number one importance, ‘errors’ should only occur on the side of safety. Each archery session a range master must be selected. On the range, any lawful instruction given by the range master must be adhered to unless unsafe. (I.e. if an order of ‘Bows up’ is given and you seen a person about to enter the range give the counter order of ‘Bows down’). On instruction from anyone of ‘Bows down’ all projectile weapons must be rendered safe by un-nocking the arrow and placing the bow on the ground. all handed power weapons must be place on the ground or held in a safe position. On instruction from anyone of ‘Weapons down’ all throwing or hand-missile weapons must be placed on the ground or held in a safe poition. On instruction from range master only of ‘Bows up’ may projectile weapons be prepared for use on the range. Only on instruction of ‘Loose arrows’ may arrows be loosed. (The word ‘fire’ came into usage with the advancement of firearms). No one will be in front of the projectile firing line when at the range unless Bows Down order has been given and the range master has given the order ‘Reclaim arrows’ allowing people to move forward and retrieve their missiles.
RULES OF PERSONAL PROJECTILE WEAPONS ON THE RANGE All projectile weapons must conform to Phoenix Company safety standard. The projectile weapon must be of medieval design and be within the Phoenix Company time period. The burden of proof is on the owner of the projectile weapon. All projectile weapons must be made of natural materials, with exception for safety precautions. Eg: Dacron for bow strings and use of modern glues are allowed. Power of the projectile weapon is limited to the Phoenix Company standard. This is to protect targets from damage. If you have more powerful weapons, you are welcome to use them if you provide your own targets. EXCEPTION: for training fiberglass bows (pull must be 25 pounds at 28 inches) like the Phoenix Companies may be used but never at a demonstration)
