Safety Is Everybody's   #1 Priority

Constitution Rules 

Proper Target alignment on the Range CLICK HERE

 

1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
"Unloaded" firearms cause more accidents than loaded ones.

Always treat all firearms as if they are loaded.

2. Never let the muzzle of any firearm, even a toy, point at anything you do not want to destroy or kill. This rule is especially important for those supervising novice shooters. When a child holds a rifle for example, if he hears a noise to the side, and turns his head, the firearm tends to follow. Similarly, if you make a great shot, and look back to brag to your friends, don't let the firearm follow your gaze.

3. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger. At all times you must keep your trigger finger straight, and off the trigger. Only once you have aimed and have your target in the sights should you permit your finger to gently rest on the trigger. This prevents accidental discharges should you stumble, trip, or be subjected to some unexpected event.

4. Be absolutely sure of your target, and what is behind it. Hitting a target even under the best conditions is a very challenging thing. If TV and movies were real, the good guys would kill far more innocent bystanders than bad guys. Bullets can miss, ricochet, penetrate through, and fall from the sky at velocities just as deadly as when the bullet left the barrel. If your bullet misses that deer or shoots over the top of that hill, you can't bring it back.
