COVID-19 GUIDANCE

RESTARTING SHOOTING VIA THE BOOKING SYSTEM

There will be two timed sessions for archers one at 8 AM and one at 11 AM. For this to work people must be on time and leave five minutes before the next session starts to avoid unnecessary contact. Masks, gloves and hand sanitizer is available in the container.

On arrival all members should sanitize their hands unless wearing gloves and put on a mask before touching any equipment. For setting up the field we will try and keep our 2 m distance but of course some of us will need assistance lifting bosses etc.  each archer will be given their own four target pins and face which is to remain in their possession from week to week and taken home rather than being left at the club, they can decide which size face they want 122 cm or 80 cm depending on which round they wish to shoot. There will be six bosses 5 m apart from their centers one archer per target, or more if from the same family unit.

If the schools toilets are used they must be cleaned with the bleach spray provided including all surfaces that have been touched, seat, taps, doorhandles, flush etc. There is also liquid hand soap available if none is available in the toilets. Any PPE that has been used during the session must be taken home to be disposed of by the user.

Please remember wearing gloves does not stop contamination, hands need to be sanitised every time you touch something that someone else has touched or may touch, even if you’re wearing gloves you will still need to sanitise them. As we shoot outdoors, masks only need to be worn if you’re coming into closer contact with someone eg when helping someone move a boss.

There is also guidance below from the Archery GB Website, please familiarize yourself with the document
