General Risk Assessment for Trickshot Archery - WHAT WE WILL DO

Tag Archery is a small group-sport suited to 6-12 participants per game. It is generally a very safe sport due to the low power of the bows and foam-tipped arrows. Nonetheless, the following measures have been put in place as safety is our top priority:

All participants are given a ruggedised helmet which is worn throughout the games to prevent head injury or nose bleeds.
All participants are given arm guards which are worn during the session to prevent bruising from bowstrings. Participants are still recommended to wear a full-sleeve top to further provide protection.
All bows have finger tabs attached to the strings to prevent any possible harm from bowstrings.
All participants are given a training period at the beginning to ensure they all can use the equipment properly and safely.
One-two coordinators will always be on site to run the games, they will be wearing goggles and will be outside of the game area to prevent any harm to them.
A trained first aider with a fully stocked first aid kit will always be on site in the rare case of an injury.
All equipment will be checked for proper working conditions before and after each game to ensure they are safe to use. Any unsafe equipment will be taken out and replaced immediately.
Our waiver must be signed before participating in a session.
All equipment is sanitized before and after each use. Participants are encouraged to sanitize hands prior to play.
