[Archers] New Archery Rule Change

[loreleielkins at aol.com]

Greetings everyone. I have received a few emails about the rule change for archery that came out a while ago.  I just wanted to make sure everyone was first, aware of the new rule, and secondly, understands the new rule.  This e-list is a good place to discuss the issue and make sure we are all on the same page, since I've heard more than one interpretation of the new rule.
 
This is also a good time for us to review the event sites we typically use and make sure the archery ranges are usable under the rule change, and whether or not they will need a waiver from the Deputy Earl Marshal for Target Archery. Remember that this needs to be done well in advance of the event.
 
Tawk amongst ya selves.

MODIFICATION :
3.9.3.2.2 At a minimum, each shooting station will have a safety zone that
extends 30 degrees from each end of the shooting line to a line even with
the furthest target, or 50 yards, whichever is closer. The safety zone will
then extend 100 yards from all points on the shooting line, or half the
distance from the shooting line to a line parallel to the farthest target,
whichever is greater. A larger safety zone is recommended if possible.

A waiver may be requested for shorter ranges provided there is a physical
barrier, which will stop arrows. This waiver must be requested in writing
from the DEM-Target Archery only and approval must be received in writing
and retained by the Marshal in charge at the site. The DEM-Target Archery
may provide restrictions in order to use the modified range, such as
restricting bow type and poundage.

NEW POLICY NUMBER:
3.8.3.2.5 The MIC-Target Archery will design the range with safety being the
primary concern. Range design will account for control of the shooters,
visibility of the range and the surrounding area, site layout and foot and
vehicle traffic patterns.
