Never point a firearm at anyone, even in jest. Carry it muzzle-up when off the range (or better yet, in a case or slip). Do not shoulder or load the firearm until the Range Conducting Officer has confirmed the range is clear and called “Start”. Never offer a firearm to anyone without showing that it is clear. Never accept a firearm from anyone unless they have proved clear and you have checked clear. When not shooting, the firearm must have the bolt removed or a breech-flag inserted. The magazine should be removed if the firearm has one.
