Backstop netting doesnt stop arrows!
Fences dont stop arrows.
Hedges dont stop arrows.
Brick walls lower than 12ft dont stop arrows.
It worries me how many people on this forum are asking these questions that involve really very basic safety requirements.
I was going to say, doesnt anyone read the
GNAS rules of shooting, but i guess not everyone is a gnas member.
GNAS Outdoor Target Rules state -
For bows shot off the fingers:
The GNAS rules of shooting requires a MINIMUM range length (shooting line to furthest point) of 110 yds for distances upto 60yds and for distances over 60yds the MINIMUM overshoot (targets to furthest point) must be 50 yds.
For bows shot with mechanical release aids: the length from shooting line and including overshoot shall be 150yds minimum
GNAS Field Archery rules state that "courses should be laid out in such a way as to provide safety"
