Firearms Safety
General
Always treat the firearm as if it is loaded - Even if you know it isn’t.
To this end, there are five basic rules we use to ensure that shooting remains the
safest sport in the world:
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.
