Basic Safety Rules ! WARNING Muzzleloaders can seriously or fatally injure shooters and bystanders if not handled properly. Before you use your muzzleloader, read this manual, particularly these Basic Safety Rules, and watch the instructional DVD. Supervise and teach muzzleloading and firearm safety to all members of your family. Never lend your muzzleloader to anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with its operation and the basic rules of muzzleloading safety.
