I somewhat agree with your idea of making the safety ones a little more explicit.But would anyone like more rules or statements about safe practice?
One example that is quite often quoted on the board is that lone shooting is against the GNAS rules for safety when it is not (provided a few precautions are followed).
Also:
The above rule that is written unclearly when it gets applied to club grounds for distance between targets for independent shooting. I have been at clubs that have interpreted the rule as you can have two independent shooting targets at 25yrds apart; eventually another club got clarification with the GNAS office it must be 50yrds apart but the first club was loath to take on board this interpretation.302 b (ii) [....] OR shall be at each side of the shooting range from 15 yards behind the shooting line to the
overshoot safety line and shall be 25 yards from each side of the target line parallel to the line of shooting.
As to footwear I wouldn't do flip-flops myself cos I think it would be all too easy to stand on an arrow (or at our ground deer poo). However proper sandals are another matter.
