(A) Does not talk in a loud voice or make unnecessary noise or movement whilst others are shooting. When you have finished shooting return to behind the waiting line unless, in practice, you have been asked to spot or watch an archer perform a shot.

(B) Does not talk to another competitor/archer who obviously prefers to be silent and keep themselves to themselves.

(C) Does not make any exclamation or movement on the shooting line that might disconcert a neighbour in the act of shooting

(D) Does not pull any arrows from the target before all arrows have been scored or checked by their owners. Even in practice some folks might be scoring or noting where their arrows have landed, even behind the target.

(E) Does not go behind the target to collect arrows before all arrows in the target have been scored or checked. See H

(F) Does not walk up and down the shooting line during competitions /Target days comparing scores

(G) Does not leave or step onto the shooting line whilst the archers either side are at full draw. If you have finished shooting – stand still until an opportunity to leave the line presents itself

(H) Does not touch anyone else's equipment without permission – this includes arrows in the target. Ask before you pull. Some archers like to pull their own arrows so that if damage occurs they have no one to blame. Some arrows can cost up to £30 each. See K

(I) Does not leave litter – that’s a given !!!

(J) When calling scores does so in groups of three, for example 7-7-5 pause 5-5-3 by pointing at the nock end of the arrows without touching them

(K) If he breaks another's arrow through his own carelessness pays for it in cash on the spot

(L) Thanks the scorer at the end of each round for work on his behalf.

(M) If an Archer wishes to join another Target they should ask those shooting on that target and not just barge in. There may be a danger of damaging arrows if too many are shooting on the same target.

(N) When returning from the target should not dawdle and keep everybody else waiting.

(O) Does not stand and watch everybody else get out and put away equipment. Archers should make every effort to be there at the start or end of a session to help. Preferably both – but its understood that sometimes this wont be possible.

(P) Does not spend a lot of time looking for lost arrows while others are waiting to shoot – ask for help and if it can’t be found within a reasonable time – wait until next end.

(Q) Does not leave arrows on the field – in the event of a lost arrow all efforts must be made to find and retrieve lost arrows to prevent the chance of injury to the general public/other users of the field. This may mean using methods like rake that could damage the arrow if all else fails. ASK FOR HELP!!

(R ) Does ENJOY the session – all things given that’s why we are there – to have some fun and achieve something from our shooting. No one expects total silence and archers standing stock still while not shooting. But remember some are more serious than others (not necessarily all the time).
