FIELD ARCHERS' SAFETY CODE
 

1. Always call "timber" before starting to shoot as warning to others who may not have cleared the shooting line or target area.
 

2. Always leave one member of your party standing in from of the target while you are looking for lost arrows as warning to others following on course. If alone, leave your bow.
 

3. Never release an arrow when you cannot see where it will land; never "flight shoot" an arrow in the woods. Never shoot straight up.
 

4. Never shoot a broken arrow. Inspect each arrow carefully as you retrieve it.
 

5. Always have your arrows marked with your name and address.
 

6. Remember at all times that a bow and arrow is a deadly weapon, as dangerous as a gun in the hands of an irresponsible person.

7. Never attempt to demonstrate your skill by using a person as a target, or be permitting another to hold the object at which you shoot.
 

8. Never brace another's bow without his permission, and never draw it under any circumstance.
 

9. Protect your sport by being careful and sure when you shoot.
 

10. Remember to always use "common sense and courtesy".
