4. Loading Your Air Rie
6. Aiming at a Safe Target
5. Closing the Barrel
OPERATION
Firmly grasp the barrel behind the front
sight, return the barrel to its original
closed and latched position.
Always aim your air rie in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always choose your target
carefully. It is best to shoot at a paper bullseye target which is attached to a safe
backstop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the target backstop to prevent
ricochet should you miss the backstop. Think about what you will hit if you miss
the target.
THE UMAREX
®
OCTANE AIR
RIFLE has open sights. Air ries
with this type of sight are correctly
aimed when the front sight blade is
positioned exactly in the notch of the
rear sight. The top of the front sight
blade should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bullseye
should appear to rest on the top of the front sight (illustration 6).
BE CAREFUL TO KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF COCKING MECHANISM (SEE “PINCH POINTS”,
ILLUSTRATION 5). GRASP THE BARREL FIRMLY AS YOU COCK IT AND CLOSE IT TO PREVENT IT
FROM SNAPPING BACK AND POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.
