5. Aiming and Firing Safely
Always point your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
Follow the instruction for inserting CO
2 (See 3.1) and loading (See 4.1)
You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit
someone or something you had not intended to hit.
Always choose your target carefully. For example, you may wish to shoot at paper bullseye targets, that
are attached to a safe backstop such as the Crosman 850 Target Trap. A heavy blanket should be hung
behind the Target Trap to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop.
Your air pistol is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Always
remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.
When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the air
pistol “Off Safe” (See 2.2) and pull the trigger to fire.
