SAFETY
"Safety First, Last and
Always"
Safe Gun Handling and Competition rules are the
most important. Not abiding by these rules can result in the
disqualification from any match, or expulsion from any range.
FUNDAMENTALS:
-
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe
direction
-
Always keep finger off trigger until
ready to shoot
-
Always keep gun unloaded until ready
to use
ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE:
-
Be sure the gun is safe to operate
-
Know how to safely use the gun
-
Use only the correct ammunition for
your gun
-
Load gun only when told to do so
-
Walk forward of firing line only when
told to do so
-
Handle rifles only when told to do so
-
Know your target, and what is beyond
-
Wear eye and ear protection as
appropriate
-
Never use alcohol or drugs before or
while shooting
-
Store guns so they are not accessible
to unauthorized people
These are only the basic rules, and they are taught thoroughly
at the
Galway Junior Rifle Club Introduction Course, and must be used at all times by
all junior shooters.
