Task · part of 1. Safety, and the laws where you live

1(e). Your local and state archery laws

Required Often forgotten

Tell your counselor about the laws where you live for owning and using archery equipment. These vary, so this is a thing to look up rather than a thing to know.

Notes and warnings

Note. State and local law on owning and using archery equipment varies a lot. This is a thing to go and look up, not a thing to know, and it is the part of requirement 1 most often left to the last minute.

Where this step comes from

  1. Archery Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-09-19), Requirement 1(e) · States that the laws discussed are your local and state ones.
