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 protectors when shooting.
Exposure to shooting noise can
damage hearing, 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 anything awkward,
unload your gun!
