Please follow strict adherence to COVID protocols including distancing, use of gloves, sanitising, pulling own arrows in turn to maintain distance, handling of own equipment etc, in order to keep yourselves and everyone safe please abide by the following:

• Archers wishing to shoot from the beginning of the session should arrive in plenty of time to set-up their own equipment and assist with the setting up of the range
• Choose a boss with a distance/target size of choice, if numbers exceed 8 share with another archer by mutual agreement
• Archers arriving after the start of the session are requested to set-up their own boss and face (in co-operation with another archery if necessary) without disrupting the flow of the session for other archers, please liaise with the Field Captain
• At the end of the session please help to take down and stow away club equipment, do not leave the boss on the field if it is not in use
