DESCRIPTION, HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE
4. ALWAYS KEEP AND CARRY YOUR WEAPON EMPTY AND BLOCKED, EX-
CEPT WHEN YOU INTEND TO SHOOT, SO THAT IT CANNOT BE FIRED WHEN
YOU DO NOT MEAN IT.
5. NEVER DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR TAKE DRUGS BEFORE OR
DURING SHOOTING, as your vision and judgment could be seriously
impaired making your weapon handling unsafe.
6. ALWAYS SEEK DOCTOR’S ADVICE IF YOU ARE TAKING ANY MEDICA-
TION, to be sure you are t to shoot and handle your weapon safely.
7. ALWAYS USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY, ORIGINAL HIGH QUALITY COMMER-
CIALLY MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION IN GOOD CONDITION, WHICH
IS APPROPRIATE TO THE CALIBER OF YOUR WEAPON.
8. ALWAYS BE SURE THAT BARREL INTERIOR IS CLEAN AND THAT THE
BORE AND THE MUZZLE ARE CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS. Clean a fouled
weapon immediately, so that it will function correctly and safely.
9. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR PROTEC-
TION WHEN SHOOTING, especially on a range. Without ear protection
the noise from your weapon and other weapon close to you, could
leave ringing in the ears for some time after ring, while the cumula-
tive long term eect could be permanent hearing loss.
10. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE-
SHOOTING GLASSES.
11. ALWAYS PUT A KNOWLEDGEABLE AND RESPONSIBLE PERSON IN
CHARGE TO MAINTAIN SAFETY CONTROL WHEN A GROUP IS FIRING
ON A RANGE. Obey his commands so that discipline is maintained to
reduce the likelihood of accidents.
12. ALWAYS BE SURE YOUR BACKSTOP IS ADEQUATE TO STOP AND
CONTAIN BULLETS BEFORE BEGINNING TARGET PRACTICE, SO THAT YOU
DO NOT HIT ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE RANGE SHOOTING AREA.
13. ALWAYS BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND THE AREA
BEHIND IT BEFORE YOU SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER. A bullet could travel
through or past our target. It has enough energy to cause unwanted
consequences at large distances. If in doubt, do not shoot.
14. NEVER SHOOT AT A HARD SURFACE OR AT WATER. A bullet may
ricochet and travel in any direction to strike you, or an object you cannot
see, causing injury, death or damage to property.
