This rule is from the Society Target Archery Marshal's Handbook (October 2016):
  • II.E "All archers and marshals should explicitly follow the commands of the Target Archery Marshal who is in charge of their range. Failure to follow the Target Archery Marshal’s instructions may result in removal from the range." and;
  • IX.G "The Target Archery Marshal-in-Charge may remove archers exhibiting unsafe behavior from the range." and;
  • XI.E "All archers shall follow the instructions of the Target Archery Marshal-in-Charge and of Target Archery Marshals assisting on the line."
This rule is also from Society Thrown Weapons Marshal's Handbook (October 2016):
