The Ten Commandments of Archery Safety 1) I will always treat my bow and arrow as a firearm and not point them at anything that I do not intend to shoot. 2) I will not nock an arrow or draw a bow when a person is in front of me. 3) I will never release an arrow where I cannot see the entire flight of the arrow. 4) I will never shoot an arrow straight up. 5) I will not release a drawn bow without an arrow (dry fire). 6) I will not shoot an arrow that is too short for my draw or one that is damaged or too weak for my bow. 7) I will not shoot towards houses, highways, livestock, or where there are people. 8) I will not go forward to retrieve my arrows until all are through shooting and I have been given the signal. 9) When looking for an arrow beyond the target, I will set an arrow in the top of the target to warn others that I am behind the target. 10) I will always be courteous to others, conserve wildlife, and preserve the natural beauty of my country.
