How to Be Safe with a Bow and Arrow : Archery Safety Tips

"Hello! My name is Harold Hall, Ft. Lauderdale Archers in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and today we are going to talk about tips and techniques of archery. On behalf of Expert Village, I would like to welcome you. Okay, one of the things that I talk about to a new student and I stress very strongly is safety. Safety is very, very important. We've been here for a lot of years and we have never had an accident here and we don't want an accident. So as far as safety goes, I teach you the correct way to load a bow, where to keep your arrows points when you are walking back from the target. After you pull your arrows, you need to keep the arrows in the palm of your hand with the points pointed down, keep them away from anybody, you don't run on the range and we don't want you to run. If you fall and you got arrows in your hand, you can injure yourself or somebody else. So that is one of the things we talk about in stress."
