5. BE SURE OF YOUR
TARGET BEFORE YOU
SHOOT.
Don’t 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 gun. 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
before you pull the trigger.
6. WEAR SHOOTING
GLASSES AND HEARING
PROTECTORS WHEN YOU
SHOOT.
All shooters should wear protective
shooting glasses and adequate hearing
protection when shooting. Exposure
to shooting noise can damage hear-
ing, and adequate eye protection
when shooting is essential.
7. NEVER CLIMB A TREE OR
FENCE WITH A LOADED
FIREARM.
Put the firearm down carefully
before climbing a fence, and unload
it before climbing 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, or
whenever you are about to do any-
thing awkward, unload your gun!
