GNAS strikes again. Attached is the 'Code of Practise for a Have a Go's' but you'll notice that it's left open to interpretation about what bow's can & can't be used. It reads, and i quote
"5. Only lightweight poundage beginner bows and arrows must be used. Members must not use normal target or field bows."
It's a judgement call on that one, but is very clear state about target distances and use of backstop netting:
"6. Make sure there is a safe over-shoot – a minimum of 50 yards.
7. Targets must be at no more than 10 yards from the shooting line and should rest on the ground at approximately the same angle as recommended in the
GNAS Rules of Shooting.
8. Backstop netting should be used at all times unless there is a very safe overshoot as mentioned in item 6."
Hope this helps...
