5. BE SURE THE BARREL IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE SHOOTING.
Even a bit of mud, snow or excess lubricating oil or grease in the bore may cause
the barrel to bulge, or even burst on firing, and can cause serious injury to the shoot-
er and bystanders. Be sure that you are using ammunition of the proper caliber and
loading designated on the barrel for the firearm you are using. If the report or recoil
on firing seems weak, or doesnÕt seem quite right, CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY,
unload your firearm, and check to be sure that no obstruction has become lodged
in the barrel. Never try to shoot out an obstruction! Have the firearm inspected by a
professional gunsmith or return it to the factory.
6. BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET BEFORE YOU SHOOT.
DonÕt shoot unless you know exactly where your bullet is going to strike. Be sure of
the bullet stop behind your target, even when dry-firing with an unloaded firearm.
If you are in the field hunting, do not fire at a movement or noise. Take the time to
be absolutely certain of your target and what is beyond before you pull the trigger.
7. WEAR SHOOTING GLASSES AND HEARING PROTECTORS WHEN YOU
SHOOT.
All shooters should always wear protective shooting glasses and adequate hearing
protectors when shooting. Exposure to shooting noise can damage hearing, and the
use of adequate eye protection when shooting is essential.
8. NEVER CLIMB A TREE OR FENCE WITH A LOADED FIREARM.
Put the firearm down carefully before climbing a fence, and unload it before climb-
ing or descending a tree or jumping over a ditch or other obstruction. Never pull or
push a loaded firearm toward yourself or another person. When in doubt always
unload your firearm!
9. DONÕT SHOOT AT A HARD SURFACE, OR AT WATER.
Bullets can glance off many surfaces like rocks or the surface of water and travel in
unpredictable directions with considerable velocity.
10. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM.
Firearms should always be unloaded before being placed in a vehicle. A suitable
carrying case or scabbard with a lock should be used to carry an unloaded firearm
to and from the shooting area.
11. NEVER USE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHEN SHOOTING OR HANDLING
FIREARMS.
DonÕt drink when handling firearms. Handling firearms while under the influence of
alcohol in any form, or medications that could affect your judgement or co-ordina-
tion, constitutes a criminal disregard for the safety of others.
12. FIREARMS SHOULD BE STORED UNLOADED AND LOCKED IN A LOCATION
THAT IS BOTH SEPARATE FROM THEIR AMMUNITION AND INACCESSIBLE TO
CHILDREN AND OTHER UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.
