What might happen if arrows fly above a safety curtain?

When arrows fly above a safety curtain, it poses a significant risk to bystanders or observers who may be situated behind the intended target area. The purpose of a safety curtain is to contain errant shots and prevent them from traveling outside of the designated safe zones, thus protecting individuals from potential injury. If arrows surpass this curtain, they can endanger anyone nearby, leading to possible accidents or serious injuries.

While concerns about event cancellation and pedestrian safety are valid, the immediate risk associated with arrows exceeding the safety curtain primarily involves the safety of observers in the vicinity. The assertion that it leads to better target practice does not hold true, as flying arrows above the safety curtain indicates a failure in control and safety measures, rather than an improvement in practice results.
