Since the rules in archery are very straightforward and leave little room for interpretation, there will be no “You be the judge” quiz for archery. Instead, here is a brief summary of the most important rules and regulations that a referee in archery must check.

1. Equipment Inspection

• Ensuring that the bow, arrows, and accessories comply with regulations.
• No unauthorised technical aids (e.g. electronic sighting devices).

2. Shooting Rules

• Adhering to the specified shooting time per round.
• Maintaining the correct stance within the shooting line.
• No early release of the arrow before the start signal.

3. Scoring Verification

• Checking whether an arrow is correctly within the scoring zone.
• Resolving unclear or disputed hits.

4. Safety Regulations

• No unauthorised entry into the shooting area during a round.
• Compliance with all safety measures to prevent risks.
