Before starting with technique and live fire on the range, we must ensure that all newcomers go through the course of safe handling of weapons.
Mostly, people see air guns as a thing for a hobby and don’t take them seriously as fire arms, even though air guns can cause serious injuries and sometimes a fatal outcome, if not handled correctly.
Especially those people who handle guns daily tend to get over confident and disregard safety at some point as it becomes a thing they don’t give attention to as much as they did before. They think it can’t happen to them.
We must make sure that our daily session on the range is safe, fun and productive.
So lets go over the basic rules in safely handling weapons:
1. Always keep the barrel of an air gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. Treat every weapon as if it is loaded.
3. Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to fire.
4.Always be sure of your target and what is behind it.
Always have these four basic rules in mind and make sure to check them at all times.
Think of your safety and the safety of others around you.
