Range Personnel
- Each tomahawk throwing activity leader can supervise a maximum of three targets. The group size for any one target should be no larger than five, i.e. one person throwing and four waiting to throw.
- If the activity includes more than two targets then a Range Master must be appointed who would have overall control of the range whilst the activity leaders are delivering the activity to those throwing.
- The Range Master would be responsible for controlling movements on the range and ensuring that those not throwing are not causing a distraction to those throwing.
- A Range Master can supervise a range with a maximum of six targets and two activity leaders.
Activity Leaders and Range Masters should ensure that the tomahawk activity is safely managed at all times and that the appropriate risk assessment is in place.
Activity Leader
An appropriate activity leader is a competent individual who regularly takes part in the activity. It is recommended that a tomahawk throwing activity leader should have a minimum of one day’s (7 hours) practical experience before being deemed competent to lead a session. Undertaking training to fully understand how to operate this activity safely is strongly encouraged.
A young person can be an activity leader as long as they have the necessary skills.

Kit Collection
Generally the booking secretary will make arrangements with you at point of booking confirmation or closer to the time of hire.
Collection in most cases will be from the district stores, however in some circumstances where back to back books happen it makes more sense for you to collect from the previous hirer… again the booking secretary will advise on who to contact if this happens.
NOTE: Kit Collection is by appointment ONLY, you will not be allowed to just pickup the keys.. so please don’t ask!
When do I pay
It is expected the booking will be paid for ASAP after having received confirmation of the booking being accepted.
If payment is not received and another request comes in for the same slot, you will be at risk of loosing it.
