How To Plan For A Safe Trip To The Range
SHARE THESE TIPS WITH YOUR +ONE
1
Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe Direction:
Simply put: Never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot—even when dry firing.
2
Keep Firearms Unloaded When Not in Use:
Never load a gun until you are ready to shoot. When not in use, store firearms and ammo separately.
3
Don’t Rely on a Gun’s Safety:
Treat every gun as though it can fire at any time. Safeties are mechanical devices that can become inoperable without your knowing.
4
Be Sure of Your Target and What’s Beyond It:
No target is so important that you can’t take the time before pulling the trigger to be certain of where your shot will stop.
5
Use the Correct Ammunition:
Using improper or incorrect ammunition can destroy a gun and cause serious personal injury. Always double-check your ammo.
6
If the Gun Fails to Fire, Handle with Care:
If nothing happens when you pull the trigger, keep the muzzle pointed downrange, unload the gun, and dispose of the faulty cartridge.
7
Always Wear Eye and Ear Protection:
Exposure to a firearm’s report can damage hearing; adequate vision protection is essential at all times while shooting.
8
Be Sure the Barrel is Clear of Obstructions:
Before loading a firearm, open the action, check that there’s no ammo in the chamber or magazine, and make sure the barrel is clear.
9
Don’t Alter or Modify a Gun, and Service Regularly:
Any alteration or change made to a firearm after manufacture can make the gun dangerous. Also, follow the manufacturer’s service recommendations.
10
Learn the Mechanical and Handling Characteristics of the Gun:
Every firearm is different. Never handle a gun without first familiarizing yourself with it and the way it works.

Beyond the Firearm Basics | Training for Defense and Competition
Transitioning to training for defense and competition No matter what your passion is—golf, bowling, guitar, whatever—there’s always a way to take it to the next level. Shooting is no different. It’s true that you can buy a firearm and be a casual plinker, shooting only for the pure enjoyment of it in a safe, non-stressful environment. Let’s face it, backyard plinking is some of the most fun you can have with a gun. That said, many shooters wish to continue developing their skills and becoming more involved in the pursuit. When this is the case, it’s a perfect opportunity to explore training for defense and/or competition. In fact, it was a friend’s invitation to attend a defensive AR-15 class that launched me deeper into shooting and led me down my firearms-focused career path. Attending that class not only showed me how effective an AR-15 is as a defensive tool, but it also revealed what I was capable of. From there, I was able to assess where I wanted to be as a shooter and how to get there. At the…

1
10 Commandments of Firearm Safety:

2
Eye & Ear Protection:
Safety first. Plus, eye and ear protection make great welcoming gifts to the shooting sports.
3
Reaction Targets:
Punching paper’s fine, but spinners, gongs, and chalk disks are a lot more fun.
4
Ammo:
This may be a no-brainer, but always bring more than you think you’ll need.
5
Positive Attitude:
Be encouraging, be patient, and above all, make the experience fun.
