Rules Update: Archery Safety

Targeting an archer’s bow or arrow can be dangerous for both of you, causing the bow to snap, or the arrow to fly haphazardly and in a dangerous fashion.  It is against the rules for an archer to block an attack with a bow or crossbow, especially a strung or knocked one.  Arrows that are damaged can splinter or shatter, either when fired or on impact - it is against the rules to swat an arrow with a weapon. Damaged bows and arrows should be removed from use ASAP.  If a non-archer is constantly found rushing archers in dangerous ways, or hitting their bows and arrows purposely, they will be punished accordingly.
