I believe that space suits come in a quite acceptable shade of white - with attached 'piping' of course.

I am sure suitable thrusters can be developed to stop you flying back during release, site marks are simple with 1/6 th gravity here and no air resistance I guess you would only need 1 and holding steady should not be an issue. which may not be challenging enough for compound, so new distances may be in order how about a Fita 700 Meters with helmet to helmet shoot off, mind you do not miss as you would never find the arrow again.

Dam Just thought of an issue with 1/6 th gravity long rods will need to be 6 times linger to prevent kick back, would you like the 15 foot or 17 foot Beiter long rod.

I wondered what my wife mean't when she said I needed a longer rod She was obviously ahead of me as usual, identifying some of the issues you have raised.

Am I the only one thinking that getting a good anchor point and still being able to see through your pee-sight might be hard with the helmet on.

Shot routine of:

Breathe in.
Take off helmet.
Shoot
Put helmet back on
Breathe out

Might work.

I think you need to add 'implode due to decompression' somewhere in the list, Sponge
