SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
- When a Rifle is brought in to the clubhouse and taken out of its carrying case, the action must be open and kept open.
- Always prove the Rifle when taking it out of the case, when handing it from one person to another, and when taking it to the firing point.
- Keep the Rifle and its ammunition separate as far as possible.
- Never handle a Rifle; without the owners permission.
- When dry firing a Rifle, always point it at something safe.
- Never load a Rifle, except on the firing point and only after the command to load has been given.
- Never point the Rifle at any one.
- Do not handle the Rifle when anyone is forward of the firing point.
- When handling a weapon, always point it towards the ground.
- Load the Rifle only on the command of the range officer.
- Unload as soon as you are told to do so, or if.There is a disturbance or emergency. You have to leave the firing point for any reason.Your gun breaks down.
- Do not change targets until all the Rifles on the firing point are unloaded. Prove your Rifle to the range officer.
- When removing the Rifle from the firing point, double check that it is empty, before placing it in its carrying case.
- Keep Rifle and ammunition under lock and key, separately if possible.
- Keep Rifle and ammunition away from children, and from adults not fully familiar with handling weapons.
- Never display gun in the house. When carrying them in your car, never leave them unattended.
- Never fire a round through a new Rifle before thoroughly cleaning the bore, EXCESS oil or grease in the barrel can cause several damages.
- Do not oil Air Rifles, Dieseling may occur when a mixture of oil vapor and air explodes on compression.
- If your Rifle malfunctions, or you suspect something is wrong with it, put it down, stand back, and report this to range officer.
- Study the laws and regulations governing weapons. Remember, violations of any of these law and regulations may be a serious criminal offence.
- Never allow yourself or your shooting friends to be frivolous about weapons. It takes only one unguarded moment to make a tragedy. Keep it in mind that the chance of an accidental discharge occurring is much more when there is a mental lapse, and unfortunately it always occurs with "an empty rifle". A conditional reflex is not subject to mental lapses and it can only be achieved by learning safety procedures and drilling yourself relentlessly in them. If anyone corrects you on a point of safety, thank him and comply even if the approach was officious and the point trivial.
