Introduction

Kinds of Archery

Target

Target archery involves shooting at targets instead of animals. The arrows have small tips for hitting targets made from cardboard and foam. Target shooting will involve the classic circle targets, paper animal targets, and fun 3d foam animals.

Hunting

Archery can also be used for hunting. Just like for normal hunting, a license will be required when using your bow outside of archery ranges for hunting. The arrows needed for hunting are very different than the ones used for target archery.

Archery Safety

Since you are shooting pointy objects at things, archery can be dangerous. Here are a few basic rules you should know to keep you safe.

• Never point your bow up when pulling back, that risks accidentliy releasing an arrow up into the sky, where it could fall and hit someone.
• Someone will yell "clear" when eveyone is done shooting to indicate that it is now safe to go collect your arrows
• Never stand infront of someone who is shooting. if also shooting, stay parrallel to them, and when done, step back
• If you drop and arrow, it is best to not bend down to pick it up until everyone is done shooting
