direction and pull the hammer to full-cock position. Press the No.11
Percussion Cap down tightly onto the nipple and the firearm is ready to fire.
RAISE THE SHOTGUN AND FIRE THE SHOT!
When firing, hold the shotgun tightly against the shoulder, allowing your
body weight to absorb and buffer the force of recoil. HELD IMPROP-
ERLY, A FIREARM CAN “KICK” CAUSING FACIAL INJURY
AND/OR BRUISING.
If you decide not to fire, remove the cap from the nipple using a suit-
able decapping tool like T/C's Decapper.
If the shotgun is no longer going to be used, uncharge it by firing it into
a suitable backstop or pull the charge before returning it to your vehicle,
camp or home (See section on "Pulling a charge.") AN ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE MAY CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE
SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
