24. Only one person may shoot at a time, the others wait behind the shooter.
25. Each archer is responsible for his or her own shot, in the case of minors the adult accompanying him or her, or legal guardian.
26. The bow may only be drawn from the bottom up (no "overhead" draw) and may only be held high enough to prevent a shot over the arrow catch (wall, counter slope, net, catch mat).
27. Before each shot the arrow must be checked for damage - especially after misses against stones or similar! Damaged arrows must not be shot under any circumstances. Danger of injury!

31. If arrows have to be searched for behind the animal, the target must be marked by a person or a leaning bow to indicate that the target is not free.
32. Arrows may only be carried in the quiver (never in the hand!) - risk of injury!
33. The bow must never be "shot" without an arrow ("empty shot") - risk of breakage!
34. Launching positions and targets must not be changed arbitrarily. Please report any damage to targets, pegs, etc. to the operator.

The exact observance of the rules is urgently required to ensure a smooth and above all SAFE operation!
