Shooting
Shooting shall conform to the rules of the GNAS.
Someone must take on the duty of Field Captain.
All shooting archers must conform to the whistle.
Shooting will be from a common line (the shooting line).
Never draw a bow, even without an arrow, except when facing the target
standing on the shooting line.
Never aim a bow anywhere except at a target.
As soon as you hear the word 'FAST' stop shooting at once, bring your bow
down and return the arrow to the quiver. The word 'FAST' can be shouted by any archer at any time who sees any
sign of danger
Scoring
Always walk carefully towards the target and beware of any arrows that may
have fallen short.
Never stand behind an archer who is pulling arrows from a target. Archers
drawing arrows should check no-one is behind them before pulling.
Do not retrieve arrows from behind the target until scores have been recorded.
All completed score sheets to be handed in should be countersigned and handed
to the Records Officer or left in the hut in the appropriate container.
General
Everyone in the ground must still observe the rules of etiquette and safety.
An adult GNAS member must be present when children under 18 are shooting. All
children under 18 must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian whilst on the ground.
Equipment should be handled with care, using appropriate aids. Bows and kit
should be stowed tidily behind the waiting line.
