You won’t be able to shoot a round - the AGB guidelines say not to move the bosses once set out so it’s a case of putting your own target face of choice on the preset boss and shooting some arrows in a safe (overshoots, etc) and controlled environment.
We are going to give our members the choice of 122cm target or novelty faces, all of which we will supply free from our club stocks, which they will keep and reuse. No score books will be issued but we won’t stop archers using personal electronic devices if they wish.
As a nominated “setting up” person I have supplied a modified Safe System of Work operated within my company. We will use lined industrial gloves - fabric back & puncture resistant palms similar to those used by builders, etc, - and wear FFP3 respirator masks. On collecting the targets they will be sprayed with a disinfectant prior to being handled. Once the field has been taken down we can then clean ourselves. All used PPE & paper towels will be double bagged and disposed of via my company’s contaminated waste system.
My 3 fellow “setter uppers” (only 2 will operate per session) have received detailed instruction in correct use of all items which includes putting on & removal without transferring any contaminants onto skin. I’ve also face fit tested each individual with their masks as an ill fitting mask is worse than no mask at all since it leads to a false sense of security. As we are all spectacle wearers goggles were deemed to be unnecessary - simply to prevent a gloved hand wiping an eye.
This may seem like overkill especially as we four are not in any ‘at risk’ category - which is why we volunteered - but with these precautions in place the risk of exposure becomes negligible and AGB guidelines are exceeded.
A high level of interest has already been received back from members, all of whom will receive a full set of guidelines by email then reply in writing (email) that they have read and accepted all terms prior to being allowed to shoot.
Let’s just hope after all this the weather holds
