Like if someone is shooting 3 arrows at a time, do you shoot 3 too and retrieve? Is there a set amount you should shoot? How far back can you stand behind a fellow shooter? What do you do if you overshoot and lose an arrow? What if someone else overshoots? Leave it help look? Or what? Etc Etc….

Most places the normally accepted number of arrows is 6. I sometimes just shoot 3, because it is good practice to just shoot 3, specially when you’re up close. That’s the number of arrows you shoot at a tournament, and if you shoot 6 or more arrows all the time, comes time at a tournament, you’ll feel odd just shooting 3. But you know what, I like it when I shoot 3 arrows and then I have to wait for someone shooting 6 or more, yes you heard that right, I like it when I have to wait. Because that’s also what it’s like at a tournament, you have to wait.
Now, say you have 12 arrows, and the entire line is just there waiting for you, then you might be shooting too much.
As far as distance behind another archer, the other person got it, about 10 feet behind the line is where the waiting line is, unless you’re coaching the guy.
I generally go help look when I see another archer looking for arrows. If I were to overshoot, I do that too from time to time, then I go look for my arrow. I’m not about to loose $40.
Other etiquette that most people don’t observe is walking on or off the line. It’s nice to see someone wait to go off or on the line until the person next to them is no longer at full draw.
well as for shooting and retrieving ,,i believe communication is best way to go agree o a set amount of shots or be patient and let them finish .at the gun range where i use to go their was so much shooting people wer ignoring others and it was a mess but try to understand if their is 30 people with high power auto rifles its different than archery where its relatively quiet so communication is a lot easier hopefully usually 5 shots and retrieve is nice and a little patience for beginners helps as far as overshoots goes either wait or help because 10 minutes is better than waiting a hour while a person hunts a 6 dollar arrow some times people share a arrow spotter and take turns shooting ,,,stand at least 10 yrds back or 10 yrds to the right or left
Communication is key and every range is different. There maybe a range master who will yell out range cold or range hot.
