Safety Information:
It is always a good idea for all of
us to be aware of, and practice the NRA’s 10 rules for the safe handling and
operation of firearms:
1.
Muzzle awareness – Never point a
firearm at anyone. Always keep it pointed in a safe direction.
2.
Keep your finger off the trigger
until you are ready to shoot.
3.
Keep your firearm unloaded until you
are ready to use it.
4.
Be sure of your target and what is
beyond.
5.
Know how to use the firearm safely:
action, magazine, safety, etc.
6.
Be sure your firearm is safe to
operate.
7.
Use only the correct ammunition for
your firearm.
8.
Wear eye and ear protection (this is
also a club rule).
9.
Drugs, alcohol, and shooting do not
mix.
10.
Store firearms so that they are not accessible
to unauthorized persons.
