Questions and Answers

1.

What is the main hazard when approaching the target butts to score arrows?
- A.
  
  Racing the other archers to pick up the score card.
- B.
  
  Bumping into another archer.
- C.
  
  Striking an arrow which is lodged in the ground.
Correct Answer
C. Striking an arrow which is lodged in the ground.

Explanation
When approaching the target butts to score arrows, the main hazard is striking an arrow that is lodged in the ground. This can be dangerous as it may cause the arrow to bounce back or cause injury if it hits the archer or another person nearby. It is important to be cautious and aware of the arrows that are already in the ground to avoid any accidents or injuries.

You move to the 30m marker on the practice range to carry out sight settings and find that there are four members already using the Target. What options do you have?
- A.
  
  Wait until the other archers have finished shooting and retrieved their arrows.
- B.
  
  Stand in the lane next to the 30m target and shoot across at an angle.
- C.
  
  Squeeze into the group on the shooting line and shoot.
- D.
  
  Open up another target next to the designated practice target.
Correct Answer
A. Wait until the other archers have finished shooting and retrieved their arrows.

Explanation
The best option in this situation is to wait until the other archers have finished shooting and retrieved their arrows. This is the most respectful and considerate option, as it allows the other archers to complete their practice without any interruptions. It also ensures safety, as shooting while others are still on the range can be dangerous. Standing in the lane next to the target and shooting at an angle or squeezing into the group on the shooting line are not recommended as they can interfere with the other archers and compromise safety. Opening up another target next to the designated practice target is not necessary if you can simply wait for your turn.

You manage to miss the target butt completely and put an arrow into the safety fence behind it. How do you retrieve your arrow?
- A.
  
  Get one of the younger kids to climb up the slope and hand the arrow to you.
- B.
  
  Move down the line of butts and use the access stairs.
- C.
  
  Tell the scorer and then climb up the slope to retrieve it.
Correct Answer
B. Move down the line of butts and use the access stairs.

Explanation
To retrieve the arrow that missed the target and ended up in the safety fence behind it, the best option is to move down the line of butts and use the access stairs. This option allows the person to safely reach the arrow without causing any damage or risking their own safety. Asking one of the younger kids to climb up the slope and hand the arrow can be dangerous for them and may not be a feasible solution. Informing the scorer and then climbing up the slope may also not be the best option as it does not address the immediate retrieval of the arrow.

All shooting must be under the control of a DoS and shall be conducted under either AA or FITA Rules. The whistle signal of two blasts means -
- A.
  
  Come to the shooting line
- B.
  
  Danger, stop shooting immediately.
- C.
  
  Commence shooting.
- D.
  
  Stop shooting and proceed to recover arrows.
Correct Answer
A. Come to the shooting line

Explanation
The whistle signal of two blasts means "Come to the shooting line." This signal is used to indicate that shooters should gather at the shooting line, possibly for instructions or to begin shooting. It is important to follow this signal to ensure that shooting activities are conducted in an organized and controlled manner under the supervision of a DoS (Director of Shooting).

- A.
  
  Danger, stop shooting immediately.
- B.
  
  Stop shooting, retrieve and score arrows.
- C.
  
  Move from the waiting line to the shooting line.
Correct Answer
B. Stop shooting, retrieve and score arrows.

Explanation
The correct answer "Stop shooting, retrieve and score arrows" indicates that when three blasts are heard on a whistle, it is a signal for the archers to stop shooting their arrows. Instead, they should go and retrieve their arrows from the target and then proceed to score them. This signal helps maintain safety and order during archery practice or competition.

- A.
  
  Borrow some arrows from another archer.
- B.
  
  Notify the DoS who will stop the shoot and raise the red flag.
- C.
  
  Post a look out and get someone to run behind the butts quickly
Correct Answer
B. Notify the DoS who will stop the shoot and raise the red flag.

Explanation
The archer should notify the DoS (Director of Shooting) who will stop the shoot and raise the red flag. This action is necessary to ensure the safety of others as the archer has already missed the target and put two arrows over the fence and into the bush. Continuing to shoot with only four arrows remaining may pose a risk to people or property. By notifying the DoS and stopping the shoot, further accidents or damage can be prevented.
