10 Archery Safety Commandments
1. I will always treat my bow and arrows as a firearm and not point them at anything that I do not intend to kill.
2. I will not nock an arrow or draw a bow when a person is in front of me.
3. I will never release an arrow where I cannot see the entire flight of the arrow.
4. I will not shoot an arrow straight up.
5. I will not release a drawn bow without an arrow (dry fire).
6. I will not shoot an arrow that is too short for my draw or one that is damaged or too weak for my bow.
7. I will not shoot toward houses, highways, livestock, or where there are people.
8. I will not go forward to retrieve my arrows until all are through shooting.
9. When looking for an arrow beyond the target, I will set an arrow in the top of the target, or set my bow in front of the target to warn others that I am behind the target.
10. I will always be courteous to others, conserve wildlife, and preserve the natural beauty of my country.

Archery Project Book
2021-Project-Books.pdfProject books help us keep records of each member's progress throughout the year. Project books must be completed by the end of the 4-H year.
This Archery project record book is meant to be used by youth 4-H members involved in a 4-H archery project. This book will help youth set goals for their archery project at the beginning of the year and track accomplishments towards those goals as the year progresses. It will also help them to record other 4-H accomplishments and reflect on their experience at the end of the project.
