The Four Whistle Commands Used On A Range And Their Related Verbal Commands

Leaders: As many of you know, your voice can only travel so far.  Especially as a group of Scouts are talking or firing at the shooting sports range. The following (world wide) whistle commands relate to Archery.
  • Two whistle blasts: archers may proceed from the waiting line to the shooting line.
  • One whistle blast: archers may place an arrow on the bowstring and begin shooting.
  • Three whistle blasts: archers may walk forward to the targets and pull their arrows.
  • Four or more whistle blasts: stop shooting immediately.
For Scouts: It is of the most importance of safety to follow the Range Master's commands at all times.
