AJ Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: accident in archery class!!! I have to agree with the rest of the adults here. There is nothing funny about an incident like that. Safety is nothing to joke about or take lightly. The instructor should have reamed the 2 individuals involved. Aparently they were never taught the safety rules of handling lethal weapons. I also agree that the instructor should be removed from that position immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a range safety officer for my gun club. We are responsible for making sure the shooters practice safety first. There are no ands, ifs, or buts, when it comes to safety. If that instructor had to preach his head off to the student, that student should not have been alowed to shoot or handle a weapon. Its pretty simple. Your "doing donuts in the snow covered parking lot" is different unless the idiot is doing it with other cars there and people walking around. Practicing in an empty lot is a great way to learn what will happen on the road. It is prepping the driver with the necessary knowledge on how the vehicle will react when they loose traction.

Doc Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Re: accident in archery class!!! It's amazing how many people still look at a bow and arrow as a toy and have so little respect for the potential danger involved. Apparently there are even archery instructors who fail to have the proper respect for the the weapon too. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffy Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Re: accident in archery class!!! Proper instruction about the range rules would have been the first step, BEFORE ANYONE HANDLES THE EQUIPMENT. The people involved were just plain lucky that things turned out the way they did.
