Equipment

Equipment

  • Dry fires (without an arrow) must be avoided at all costs.
  • Only use original string material as specified by the manufacturer. Strings and, where applicable, cables should be replaced annually if the bow is used weekly.
  • Only use suitable arrows: no damaged, too weak, too short or too light arrows.
  • Check string, shafts, nocks, points and fletching regularly for damage and replace defective components. Do not use shafts with dents or carbon damage.
Shooting

On the range

  • Use only suitable material as a target, no wooden boards, trees or other very hard objects. Position the target so that an inaccurate shot endangers nobody.
  • If several people train at the same time, a common shooting line applies and everyone retrieves arrows together. Make sure that nobody is standing behind you.
  • Shots into the air are very dangerous and prohibited on our ranges.
  • If people or animals are in the target area, shooting is not permitted.
  • Children may stay behind the shooting line accompanied by a responsible adult, provided shooting is not disrupted.
