SAFETY FIRST
Targets and hunting safety
• Be sure of your target. Bowhunters often wear
camouflage and are difficult to identify.
• Never aim at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
• Never shoot at a target or object unless you are sure
that it can stop your arrows. Make sure the area behind
and around your target is clear.
• Before shooting, be sure the bow limbs will not strike any
tree branches or other obstacles.
• Never point or aim a drawn bow at another person.
• Never draw or shoot when anyone is between you and
your target.
• Never allow anyone to retrieve arrows until all arrows
have been shot.
• Never shoot arrows straight up in the air or in any
direction where you might destroy property or
endanger life.
