How many whistle blasts indicate an emergency situation?

In archery ranges and other sporting venues, a specific number of whistle blasts are used to communicate different commands. An emergency situation is indicated by five whistle blasts. This specific pattern serves as a clear and recognizable signal that draws immediate attention and prompts action, ensuring the safety of all participants. The use of five blasts helps to differentiate from other commands and allows everyone on the range to respond quickly and effectively to a potentially dangerous situation. This standardized system helps maintain order and safety during archery activities.
