STEP 3. LOADING YOUR AIR RIFLE
Insert the correct caliber lead pellet carefully into the chamber of the breech
end which is exposed when you cock the air rifle (see illustration 4). Be sure
to seat the pellet flush with the breech. Avoid damaging the pellet skirt.
STEP 4. CLOSING THE BARREL
Firmly grasp the barrel behind the front sight, return the barrel to its original
closed and latched position.
CAUTION: 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.
STEP 5. AIM AT A SAFE TARGET
Always aim your air rifle 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.
YOUR WALTHER TALON MAGNUM OR FALCON - HUNTER EDITION
has open sights. Air rifles with this type of sight are correctly aimed when
the front fiber optic is positioned
exactly in the notch of the rear
fiber optics. The front optic should
be in line with the rear optics. The
bullseye should appear to rest
on the top of the front optic (see
illustration 6).

CAUTION: YOUR BACKSTOP SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR WEAR BEFORE AND
AFTER EACH USE. DISCONTINUE USE IF THE BACKSTOP SURFACE SHOWS SIGNS OF
FAILURE. ALWAYS PLACE THE BACKSTOP IN A LOCATION THAT WILL BE SAFE SHOULD
THE BACKSTOP FAIL. DISCONTINUE THE USE OF A BACKSTOP IF THE PROJECTILE
REBOUNDS OR RICOCHETS.
WARNING: NEVER CARRY YOUR AIR RIFLE WHILE COCKED AND/OR WHILE
LOADED. IT IS BEST TO COCK THE AIR RIFLE ONLY BEFORE SHOOTING. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOUR AIR RIFLE BE CARRIED COCKED AND LOADED.

WALTHER AIR RIFLE OPERATION STEPS
STEP 1. OPERATING THE SAFETY
When the airgun is cocked it is automatically put “ON SAFE”.
These Walther Air Rifles have the
safety as shown in illustration 2. The
air rifle is automatically put ”ON SAFE”
when it is cocked. To put “OFF SAFE”,
pull the safety lever rearward. It can be
put back “ON SAFE” by pushing the
safety forward.
WARNING: BE SURE THE AIRGUN IS ALWAYS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
NEVER POINT THE AIRGUN AT ANY PERSON EVEN IF IT IS UNCOCKED AND UNLOADED.
NEVER POINT THE AIRGUN AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SHOOT. ALWAYS
ASSUME AND HANDLE THE AIRGUN AS IF IT WERE LOADED AND READY TO FIRE.
STEP 2. COCKING YOUR AIR RIFLE
With one hand grasp stock firmly behind trigger guard,
avoiding contact with the trigger, and brace the butt end
of the stock against your thigh. Grasp the barrel near the
muzzle end, just behind the front sight. Pull downward
and to the rear until it comes to a solid
stop. You will hear a click indicating that
the spring piston has been locked into
position (see illustration 3).
WARNING: WHEN COCKING THE AIR RIFLE DO NOT
PLACE YOUR HAND OVER OR IN FRONT OF THE MUZZLE. DON’T
ALLOW THE MUZZLE TO POINT TOWARD YOU OR ANYONE ELSE
DURING COCKING. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.

ATTENTION: BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR AIR RIFLE “OFF SAFE”, BE
ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT YOUR AIR RIFLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
AND THAT YOU ARE READY TO FIRE. ONCE YOUR AIR RIFLE IS COCKED AND
AUTOMATICALLY “ON SAFE”, DO NOT RECOCK THE AIR RIFLE WHILE IT IS LOADED TO
PUT IT BACK “ON SAFE”. SEE “STEP 1. OPERATING THE SAFETY” FOR INSTRUCTION
ON HOW TO PUT THE TALON MAGNUM AND FALCON HUNTER BACK “ON SAFE”.
