10 Archery Safety Commandments

1. I will always treat my bow and arrows as a firearm and not point them at anything that I do not intend to kill.

2. I will not nock an arrow or draw a bow when a person is in front of me.

3. I will never release an arrow where I cannot see the entire flight of the arrow.

4. I will not shoot an arrow straight up.

5. I will not release a drawn bow without an arrow (dry fire).

6. I will not shoot an arrow that is too short for my draw or one that is damaged or too weak for my bow.

7. I will not shoot toward houses, highways, livestock, or where there are people.

8. I will not go forward to retrieve my arrows until all are through shooting.

9. When looking for an arrow beyond the target, I will set an arrow in the top of the target, or set my bow in front of the target to warn others that I am behind the target.

10. I will always be courteous to others, conserve wildlife, and preserve the natural beauty of my country.
