What is the recommended distance for the waiting line behind the shooting line?

The recommended distance for the waiting line behind the shooting line is 3 yards. This distance is critical for ensuring the safety of all participants during an archery event. By maintaining a minimum distance of 3 yards, spectators and waiting archers can avoid potential accidents that may arise from stray arrows or misfires. This spacing also allows for clear visibility of both the shooting area and the waiting line, helping to prevent congestion and ensuring that archers can focus on their shots without distractions or hazards.

Maintaining this distance enhances overall safety and organization at the shooting range. It allows coaches, archers, and spectators to operate in a structured environment, minimizing the risk of injury and maximizing the enjoyment of the sport.
