To participate in any events or to become a club member, you will need an account on this site. You can create one if you have not already done so.
Release Form
You must provide a signed release form each year to participate in an event or to become a club member. The blank form is linked below.
The release form is valid for calendar year so you will need to provide a new one on or after January 1st.
Print and fill out the form. Scan or photograph it and then upload it. There is a field in your user account page when you are logged in. The field accepts PDF, JPG, and PNG file formats.
Are Participants Required to Sign a Waiver/Release Form?
Yes, it is a mandatory requirement under the NFAA endorsed insurance program.
The signing of waiver/release agreements is quickly becoming a universal requirement for organized sports and recreation participation. Waiver/release forms are now required by virtually all of the following organizations: municipal recreation departments, YMCA's, health clubs, private sports organizations, etc.
Waiver/release agreements give protection to the insured archery club and its covered persons against a litigation system that is out of control as evidenced by numerous frivolous lawsuits being filed. A well-written waiver/release (such as the one that has been provided as a sample) can often result in the summary judgment dismissal of a lawsuit filed by an adult if the injury is not characterized by gross negligence. However, even if the lawsuit is dismissed on summary judgment, the legal defense costs can still be in the $10,000 to $20,000 range.
In the case of a lawsuit filed by a minor participant (under age 18), waiver/release agreements will not usually result in a quick win on summary judgment, but will ultimately result in an up to 35% reduction in the settlement or adverse jury verdict costs.
