ASA Rule:

M. Only one arrow, per shooter, per target will be shot from a stake. A dropped arrow that falls while being nocked onto the string in preparation for a shot may be retrieved and shot with no penalty. Penalty: Except as noted, if a shooter shoots two (or more) arrows, the shooter will receive a zero (“0”) for that target.

N. A “Controlled Letdown” must be verbally announced prior to the letdown, with the word “Letdown” or “Down” spoken loudly enough to be audible, and must be acknowledged by the group. If in the process of letting down the arrow is dropped it may be retrieved, but the shooter is responsible for maintaining control of the arrow at all times and the arrow must not be intentionally released. Pointing the bow at the ground immediately in front of the shooter is dangerous and if the arrow is released, other than being dropped, the shooter will receive a score of zero (“0”) for that target.

IBO Rule:

5B. Any arrow released accidentally or deliberately will be, if not in scoring area of target, scored as an O. Any arrow, which is dropped and can be recovered while touching the stake may be re-nocked and re-shot.
