A. IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1. Always wear shatter proof shooting glasses and ear protection.

2. Use blackpowder only. (See page 4.)

3. Never fire a muzzleloading shotgun unless wad (or ball) is firmly

seated against powder charge.

4. Do not exceed recommended maximum powder charges. (See page 9.)

5. Never lean over (or stand in front of) muzzle at any time.

6. Never attempt to shoot out a wad (or ball) which is not firmly seated

against powder charge.

7. Treat a misfire or failure to fire as though the gun can fire at any

second. (See page 23.)

(See page 14.)

9. Handle a muzzleloading shotgun with the same respect due all

firearms.

10. Be sure all spectators and bystanders are completely behind you when

sion cap from the unfired barrel prior to reloading the fire barrel.
