What should students do immediately after shooting an arrow?

Staying behind the shooting line until instructed is essential for maintaining safety in archery. This guideline helps ensure that all shooters remain at a safe distance from the targets until it is clear that the area is safe to approach. It prevents accidents, such as errant arrows being shot or misjudgment about the safety of the shooting zone. This procedure is particularly important in group settings, where multiple shooters may be on the line and could inadvertently pose a risk to one another if they were to move forward too soon. Following this practice minimizes the likelihood of injuries and reinforces the discipline and safety protocols essential in archery.
