Study Notes

Safety Lines and Range Setup

Three essential lines on the archery range: Target Line, Shooting Line, Waiting Line.
Target Line should be 5 feet from targets to maintain a safe distance for archers.
Minimum space behind targets without a natural berm: 50 yards (150 feet).
Controlled Access/Spectator Line must be at least 15 feet behind the Waiting Line.

Whistle Commands

"Go to the Line": indicated by 2 whistle blasts.
"Retrieve arrows": signaled with 3 whistle blasts.
"Shoot": communicated through 1 whistle blast.
"EMERGENCY": requires 5 or more whistle blasts, indicating immediate cessation of shooting.

Archery Safety and Practices

Archers must stand behind the Waiting Line while waiting to select a bow.
A "hot" range means archers are actively shooting.
If the range is hot and shooting is finished, archers should return bows and stand behind the Waiting Line.
Dry firing a bow can damage it and cause injury to the archer.

Instructor Responsibilities and Safety Checks

The Instructor is the last to return to the Waiting Line after arrow retrieval.
Before engaging with the targets, check behind targets and the safety curtain for hazards.
All access doors in front of the Shooting Line must be locked on indoor ranges.

Bow Fitting and Technique

Fitting a bow involves checking the archer's dominant hand and draw weight.
If the bowstring strikes the archer's arm, they should wear an arm guard and adjust their bow arm position.
The sight window for left-handed bows is located on the left side of the riser.

Shooting Fundamentals

When shooting, consistent anchor points are crucial; for beginners, the recommended anchor point is the index finger in the corner of the mouth.
Follow the 11 steps of shooting, starting with Stance and ending with Feedback, to ensure correct form.
The nock of the arrow connects to the bowstring; nocking requires pushing until a snap is heard to ensure it is secure.

Teaching and Learning

Positive feedback is vital when instructing archers; maintain a supportive atmosphere.
Safety always takes precedence in archery classes.
Practicing with stretch bands can enhance focus on proper shooting technique.
Drills build skills that can later be applied in games.

Equipment Maintenance

Checks should be performed to ensure bowstrings and equipment are in proper condition; frayed strings can be treated with bow wax.
All equipment should be unusable until repairs are completed if it fails inspection.
Cracked or damaged arrows should be discarded to prevent accidents.

Eye Dominance and Grip

Determine eye dominance using methods like Point at the Instructor, Point and Wink, and Aperture Method.
Correct grip positioning involves a 45-degree angle of the knuckles for proper shooting form.

Special Considerations

For archers with hearing impairments, visual signals can supplement whistle commands.
Maintain a balanced instructor-to-student ratio based on experience, maturity, and ability.
Always ensure students understand safety before providing additional arrows in training sessions.
