HAZARD, RISK, AND CONTROL MEASURES
HAZARD: SEVERITY: PROBABILITY: RAC:
Drawing the bow without an Arrow I - Catastrophic A - Likely RAC 1 - Critical
CONTROL MEASURES:
Dry firing a bow (also called dry loosing) means that you shoot it without an arrow in place. Normally the
stored energy is transferred to the arrow, but when no arrow is in place the stored energy goes right back into
the bow where it can do severe damage to bow limbs, axles, cams and string. It is not uncommon for the bow
to break causing flying debris to impact your face, or the bow from breaking your arm or face from the
pressure of the bow string
HAZARD: SEVERITY: PROBABILITY: RAC:
Damaged Arrow III - Moderate B – Probably RAC 3 - Moderate
CONTROL MEASURES:
Every arrow should be inspected before use. If you do not inspect your arrows before shooting you have the
possibility of getting broken carbon fiber or wood into your skin.
HAZARD: SEVERITY: PROBABILITY: RAC:
Follow the Range Rules II – Critical D – Unlikely RAC 4 - Minor
CONTROL MEASURES:
You may not be the only person on the range. It is important to follow the rules to not only ensure your safety,
