- When finished
shooting all of your arrows, step back from the
line of fire.
- Never leave your
bow on the ground while retrieving your arrows.
Someone could trip over a bow left on the ground
or floor..
- Cross the line of
fire to retrieve your arrows only when given a
signal to do so.
- While walking to
the target to retrieve your arrows be sure to get
any arrows that landed short of the target as
soon as possible. If your arrow is embedded in
the grass pull the arrow out forward to avoid
damage to the fletching.
- Always remember to
walk instead of running to the target to retrieve
your arrows.
- When pulling your
arrows from the target, be sure there is no one
behind you. It could really hurt being poked in
the chest by the nock of an arrow. when
retrieving place one hand flat on the target and
the other on the arrow shaft as close to the
target as possible. To prevent the arrow from
bending remove the arrow by twisting the arrow
back and forth.
- You should be
extremely careful handling arrows because they
are sharp. If possible always carry them in a
quiver, or if in your hand, with the tips in the
palm of your hand.
