AIR RIFLES ¨ Introduction to Winchester Air Rifle Shooting 10
A MESSAGE TO PARENTS Included in the material accompanying each new Winchester¨ Air Rifle is a checklist covering the most important aspects of proper gun handling. We urge you to use the checklist in assuring that anyone operating a Winchester Air Rifle has a thorough understanding of these rules and is diligent in their practice. Although not a firearm, a Winchester Air Rifle is a gun and not a toy.
YOUR WINCHESTER¨ IS A TARGET GUN Your Winchester Air Rifle has been designed for target shooting and is suited for use both indoors and out to help you develop your marksmanship skills. However, your Winchester Air Rifle means greatly increased velocity and energy, so take care to prepare your target. Target traps designed for use with low-velocity (less than 350 feet per second) BB and pellet guns should not be used with a Winchester Air Rifle.
Thrust the left hip forward, lower the gun to shoulder height, and with the left elbow directly under the gun, let the left upper arm rest against your body. The forearm of the gun should be supported in the palm of the left hand. (Thumb and fingertips, if using the NRA standing position.) Shift your weight to the left foot and lean your upper body away from the target.To assume the other positions: (It should be noted that left hand shooters reverse these directions when assuming these positions.
HOW TO MAKE AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR TARGET Because of the velocity and energy of your Winchester Air Rifle, care must be exercised in assuring that you have an adequate backstop for your target. A cardboard box 16 inches or more deep, and with at least two-foot square front surface, will serve as the basis for the target.
OUTDOOR SHOOTING While your Winchester Air Rifle is excellent for outdoor shooting, its exceptional power means extra care is needed. The target backstop described on the preceding page will work equally well for outdoor shooting where space is limited. Be sure the target area is clear and safe before shooting. USE THE RIGHT AMMUNITION Winchester Air Rifles are designed to use various types of pellets only.
