All Carbon Arrows
NO all carbon arrows to be used on the field UNLESS they have been made capable of being found
with a metal detector
Just to clear up on our "All Carbon" policy.
The reason that we have it is that under the conditions of having a shoot on the sports field that we
use, all arrows must be recovered and accounted for.
This is a health and safety condition that is placed upon us by the sports field owners. As the field
that is being used for the archery competitions, is also used for various other sports activities
football, rugby etc. throughout the year.
However, if you wish to use an all carbon arrow for the shoot, you will need to declare that you
intent to use all carbon arrows to the Judges prior to shooting and all arrows must be accounted for
after the shoot. Any missing arrow/s will be your responsibility and Rivernook Archers cannot be
held for any labiality that may incur if the arrows are not found.
Lost Arrows
ALL lost arrows must be found before departure.
We will help of course to find them!!
