All archers must shoot arrows at the same time.
All archers must retrieve arrows at the same time.
An adult must accompany archers under the age of 16.
Only target field points may be used in provided targets, no broadheads.
When searching for a lost arrow beyond the targets, place your bow in front of the target so that other archers are aware of your presence.
