When you’ve finished shooting, please quietly step back from the Shooting Line to the Waiting Line to give other archers a chance to finish without interruption. Ideally, make your exit from the line when the archers are not in the middle of their shot process.

Safety Tip

Camouflage

Archery Australia allows camouflaged archery gear (bows etc) at events in the spirit of understanding and inclusiveness of non-Target archers. That relaxation does not extend to clothing, where it is considered a safety issue. Any form of Camouflage colouring on anything is discouraged under various Archery rules. Yes, even hot pink camo! World Archery ranking events (most international tournaments) are run under strict WA rules, where it is not just discouraged, anything Camo/hunting is flatly not allowed.

In short, if you bring any camo archery gear 99% of the time you’ll be okay in Australia. Camo clothing on the other hand, you'll be asked to cover up, change, or risk being sent from the field.
