Safety Is Everybody's #1 Priority Proper Target alignment on the Range CLICK HERE
1. Treat all firearms as if they are
loaded. 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.
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.
