•
How do I get range cleared?
o One of the coaches will assess you while you shoot arrows at a predetermined target. Coaches will look at
your stance, anchor point and follow through etc; once the coaches are confident you are a safe shooter
you will be range cleared. Our aim is to get you range cleared ASAP
•

long as the friend is a member of ABA

practice range though not the other ranges until you have been range cleared

Score Recorder)

What happens if I am not range cleared before the 3 months probationary is up?

range cleared; but if you have been attending regular coaching we believe you should be range cleared
well within the preliminary 3 month period
