I LOVE this kind of 'science'!
Arrows aren't bullets
So what d'y'all think about this statement:-
"Having adopted a 'belt-and-braces' paradigm for range design, governing bodies are increasing the chances of incidents beyond the approved venues."
The more restrictive the regulations are, the fewer venues are able to exist. Lack of inclusive venues/clubs leads to uncommitted (& often dangerously ignorant, in that they firmly believe they are knowledgeable 'coz they seen some movies & online videos) non-archers going off piste & doing things a properly-trained archer would know are ill-advised.
By allowing venues which are theoretically less safe - but still safe enough that the chances of a 'negative occurrence' are acceptably low - i.e. by being a bit less snowflakey - the perception of high entry barriers to 'organised' archery is reduced, the sport has more & better-informed participants, who feel more empowered to become better evaluators of what is safe enough.
