When the word "HOLD" is called, all archers on the shooting line will immediately lower their 

bows, un-nock their arrow, and step back five (5) yards from the shooting line.

No bows will go past the shooting line at any time. When retrieving arrows, the bows must be 

left behind the shooting line. No one will occupy the space between the shooting line and the 

spectator line during arrow retrieval. When the archer returns from retrieving their arrows, they 

will not pick up their bow, instead they will step behind the spectator line and wait for the Range 

Master to give the okay to retrieve their bows.

Side clearance must be at least five (5) yards. Back clearance must be at least thirty-five (35) yards 

in depth unless there is a suitable backstop, i.e. a hill or barrier.

There will be a spectator line five (5) yards behind the shooting line. Spectators must stay behind 

this line at all times. Spectators are not allowed in the side areas at any time.

Shooting arrows in a unsafe manner is grounds for removal from the archery lists for up to twelve 

(12) months. Unsafe manner includes, but is not limited to:

•

Shooting a target arrow at someone

•

Aiming a bow with a target arrow at someone

•

Shooting a target arrow into the air to see “how high” the arrow will go

Limited to recurve, straight, semi-recurve, and longbows only. Bows should be made of materials available 

in the time-period of the archer. Fiberglass bows should be avoided if possible. There are no draw weight 

limits in target archery other than those imposed by the archery range hosting the tournament. 

Gloves, arm guards, finger gloves, finger tabs, arrow rests, nock locators, bow rests. These items are 

suggested, but not required. It is highly recommended that arrows be carried in a quiver.

No compound bows, mechanical sights, spectacle sights, counter weights, stabilizers, levels, or string 

trigger releases may be used unless the item is documented as being used by someone in the period of 

Adria.
