- Dry-Fire Danger & Safe Bow Handling Leads with the correct model: never dry-fire, always check the string/cam, control the bow under draw, and the handling rules that prevent injury and equipment damage. Builds on primer: firearms-safety-four-rules mindset, applied to bows.
- Arrow & Broadhead Safety Leads with the correct model: flex-test and inspect arrows for cracks and nock safely; broadheads are surgically sharp, so handle, transport, and quiver them with a wrench and closed quiver so you never cut yourself or others. Carbon-splinter awareness.
- Using the Archery Range Range etiquette and safe practice: the shooting line, downrange rules, target backstops, and how to structure a practice session that actually builds skill.
