Subject: Re: First day at the shooting range. Any suggestions? by JrRifleCoach on 2009/2/5 5:44:41 1) Always treat the gun as if it were loaded. The muzzle is always pointed down range. 2) Never load unless your ready to shoot. Do not lay any gun down if its loaded. (using the safety does not count) When any gun is on the table or bench, the cylinder is open and empty. An auto loader with the magazine out and the breach locked open. 3) Your finger is only on the trigger when your ready to shoot. Other wise hold your trigger finger straight out on the receiver/slide/frame. This is especially true when handling an unloaded gun off the range. 4) Safety glasses and ear muffs are always required. Loaners are probably available at the range. 5) Always remember "Stupid Hurts" you or others around you. Unloaded guns cause the most accidents, because the first thing said after an accident is; "I thought it was unloaded" Have fun and think safety, safety, safety. |
