Archery Range Rules

 

 

 

To ensure that our archery range remains safe, please be aware of these safety rules.

Alcoholic beverages and drugs may not be consumed prior or during shooting on the archery ranges. Shooters who are suspected to be under the influence alcohol beverages or drugs will not be allowed to shoot and will be removed from the premises. For the purposes of this rule, “drugs” shall mean any illegal drug, and also shall mean any prescription medication if that prescription medication affects the judgment or safe conduct of the shooter.

Contact the FLSC Club Manager or a FLSC Board member at 651-464-9931 if you observe unsafe range conditions that you cannot correct.

Archers may not use broad heads at any time.

Absolutely no “sky-drawing.” Bows may only be drawn down range toward the targets.

Before firing an arrow, make sure the area behind the target is clear of any living creatures or objects that could endanger participants.

Wait until all arrows have been shot before going down range to pull arrows.

Do not nock an arrow until everyone is behind the line.

Treat a bow and arrow with as much respect as a firearm. No horse play.

Smoking, glass containers, and open camp fires are not allowed.

Stay on the designated trail on the walk-thru course; do not cut across the course.

If you must look for a lost arrow, place your bow on the hanger in front of the target so others will know you are behind the target. Shooters are encouraged to write their membership number or name on the arrow or fletching so lost arrows can be returned to you if found.

The hunting and shooting of animals is not allowed on club property. Violators will be reported to the legal authorities and club members may have to forfeit their membership without a refund.

Be considerate of other shooters. Practice good sportsmanship and use common sense.

Treat club property with respect. Theft and vandalism will be prosecuted.

Do not remove or move targets.

Parking is allowed in the authorized parking area only. No vehicles are allowed on the ranges without written permission from the Board of Directors or the Club Manager.

Let faster shooters move ahead.

Shooting after posted archery hours is prohibited. Posted shooting hours are from 9:00 a. m. to dusk.

Pets must be tied, leashed, or placed in a vehicle at all times while on club property. Dogs must be controlled to prevent barking and the owner must clean-up after their pet.

Shoot only from marked areas. Do not trim trees or shrubs near the shooting lanes to make a shot easier.

FLSC members must carry their shareholder card while on the archery range to verify club membership.

Members may not share the gate codes with non-members. Violating this rule will lead to the forfeiture of club membership without refund.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.

Always close and lock gate after entering and exiting the range unless a public shooting event or work party is being held.

Please note: FLSC holds various shooting events throughout the year. During these events the archery range facilities are only open to the individuals and club members participating in the event.
