BAI Risk Management & Mitigation 2

Question 1

A student's arrow falls off the rest while drawing at full draw. What is the safest immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Let down slowly and replace the arrow

Answer

The safest response is to let down slowly and then re-nock the arrow rather than releasing without a properly seated arrow.

Question 2

Which of the following is the MOST important factor when establishing a safe waiting area for archers not on the line?

Accepted Answer

It must be clearly marked and positioned well behind the shooting line

Answer

A clearly marked waiting area positioned well behind the shooting line keeps non-shooting archers safely out of the active shooting zone.

Question 3

During a group lesson, an archer's bowstring breaks mid-draw. What risk does this pose to the archer?

Accepted Answer

Risk of the bow limb striking the archer's face or body

Answer

A snapped bowstring can cause the limbs to snap forward violently, potentially striking the archer's bow arm or face.

Question 4

What is the purpose of a 'whistle command system' in archery range management?

Accepted Answer

To provide standardized, clear commands that reduce misunderstanding and accidents

Answer

A standardized whistle command system ensures all archers receive clear, consistent signals that minimize misinterpretation and unsafe actions.

Question 5

An archer consistently plucks the string (pulling it sideways at release). Which risk does this habit introduce?

Accepted Answer

Erratic arrow flight and potential for the arrow to leave the range boundaries

Answer

Plucking the string causes unpredictable arrow flight direction, which can send arrows outside the intended target zone and create a safety hazard.
