MOVING TARGETS(GENERAL SAFETY OF TARGET AREA,POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF SHOOTING MOVER) <br /> AMENDMENT AND PROOFING THE COURSE <br /> Amendment.Based on the observations gathered during the assessment,the course may <br /> need changes. These may be as simple as the alteration of a trail route,or as drastic as the need to <br /> eliminate a target from the course layout.Plan and make the changes,repeat the assessment phase to <br /> confirm that the noted problems were corrected.When the designer and his assessors are satisfied that <br /> the course is safe,it is time to prove the course. <br /> Proofing.To prove the course a limited or controlled club shoot is the best option. Enough <br /> club members have probably been involved to this point to ensure that all participating members can be <br /> safely guided on this first run at your new course.Get feedback from everyone on the course layout. <br /> Remember,we are aiming for good,safe shooting practice for all archers,regardless of equipment and <br /> experience. <br /> SHOOTING LANE INSPECTION CHECKLIST <br /> After the initial design of the course has been established,the above inspection checklist will <br /> help to determine possible design safety hazards for correction.Once this is complete it must be kept in <br /> mind that the"design"of a course will change.This happens every time a club member rearranges the <br /> shooting station markings or selects a different place on the shooting lane for the target.Once a course is <br /> set up for a 3-13 event,someone should conduct a formal inspection tour to ensure no safety hazards <br /> have been inadvertently created. <br /> The following checklist is a series of questions which can be applied to each target and shooting <br /> lane to identify problems areas.It is not meant to be applied as rigidly and formally as the design <br /> inspection. But it should be employed systematically.This ensures that all points are covered and that the <br /> "inspector"does not miss checking the design while admiring the"shot." <br /> The Shooting Lane Inspection Checklist is a series of questions which takes an inspector <br /> through a detailed examination of each aspect of every shooting lane.When first used,it may take a few <br /> minutes to go through the checklist for each target,but after a few targets,the sequence will be familiar <br /> and its application will go much more smoothly and quickly.Take care,however,not to let familiarity with <br /> the checklist result in taking the purpose of the inspection too lightly.The checklist is also repeated in <br /> Annex C for ease of reproduction and use. <br />
