Rules of the Range
● Each archer present their equipment for inspection by the Marshal(s) and receives a inspection sticker good throughout war.
● Do not approach the shooting line unless instructed to do so by the Marshal of the Line.
● Straddle the line when firing. Exceptions to this rule can only be made by the Range Marshal in Charge.
● Nock and begin loosing arrows only at the command of the Marshal of the Line
● All archers must be able to hear the Marshal make their calls. To this end, nothing that would lessen an archer’s ability to hear (headphones, earplugs, etc) is allowed on the line. Those archers who are hard of hearing are recommended to stand near the Marshal of the Line and alert them of any difficulties they may have.
● When a HOLD is called, it applies to all shoots  currently happening on the range. All archers are required to safely ease down drawn bows and unnock arrows. Anyone may call HOLD if they see an obstruction on the field that warrants the call.
● All archers will at minimum step back off the line when finished shooting to give the Marshal of the Line a clear line of sight at the remaining active archers.
● Do not go forward of the line to retrieve arrows until commanded to do so by the Marshal of the Line.
● When approaching the target, remember to watch for and avoid arrows in and on the ground. Do not touch or pull any arrows in the target until all the  scores from your target have been recorded, including arrows in the target which do not score. Arrows  removed before they have been scored may not be counted, and in some shoots if your score has not been verified and you remove your arrows you will receive no points.
● Do not retrieve or pull another archer’s arrows without first asking their permission.

Line Commands and Procedures
1. The Marshal of the Line will order all archers to the line.
2. The Marshal of the Line and any assistant Range Marshals will check to see that there is no one downrange.
3. For competitions, the Marshal of the Line will state the number of arrows to be shot, the range, whether or not there is a time limit and the nature of the end (scoring or practice).
4. The Marshal of the Line will call the range OPEN. For Untimed/Slow ends, the Marshal of the Line will issue the command to commence shooting. For Timed/Speed ends, the Range Marshal will outline the rules of the timed end.
5. The Marshal of the Line will check to make sure all archers have finished shooting.
6. The Marshal of the Line will call the range CLOSED
7. For ranges with staggered targets, the Marshal of the Line will instruct the archers to leave their equipment behind the line, retrieve arrows, and score if it was a scoring end.

For ranges with staggered shooting lines, if the next end requires moving to a different shooting line the Marshal of the Line will instruct the archers to move their equipment, retrieve arrows, and score if it was a scoring end.
