1 Gun Safety Rules And Safe Range Operations Knowledge Skill Attitude Safety is the number one priority on and off the range. Everyone must do their part to prevent accidents. In this sport, most incidents (as few as there are) are caused by the ignorance of proper shotgun operating procedures or by mishandling. Marksmanship can be an enjoyable, challenging, and exciting sport when done safely. Shotguns must be treated with the same respect and safety considerations given all firearms. Knowledge, skill and attitude. These three elements must be present in order to safely and responsibly handle any gun. Safety knowledge is needed to perform the shooting skill safely. The proper attitude puts the knowledge and skill to work. By observing the safe gun handling rules most firearms accidents would never occur. What do you think is the primary concern when handling any kind of gun? Safety is always the primary concern when handling guns, whether they are located on the range, at home, or in the field. What do you think are the major causes of gun accidents? Ignorance and carelessness are the primary causes; a lack of knowledge of gun safety or operation (ignorance), or the failure to apply one s knowledge when handling guns (carelessness). A very real concern, especially among those who are around guns frequently, is complacency. Complacency leads to carelessness.
2 Shotgun Nomenclature Stock Grip Comb Action Bolt Breech Front sight bead Rib Muzzle Butt Trigger Safety Barrel Trigger Guard Fore-end Action release The three major part groups of a shotgun are the stock, barrel and action. The stock consists of the butt, comb or cheekpiece, grip and fore-end or forearm The barrel is a tube of a certain size or diameter that runs its full length; this is called the bore. The inside diameter of this tube is usually referred to as its gauge. Gauge is an old term for the number of round lead balls of that diameter that equals one pound. A 12 gauge shotgun has a nominal bore diameter of.730 inches, while a 20 gauge is.615 inches. An exception to that naming convention is the.410 bore shotgun which has an inside diameter of.410 inches. A.410 bore is a 67 gauge. The muzzle end of the barrel has a slightly smaller diameter, the choke, which controls the spread of the shot pattern. The breech is the back end of the barrel where the chamber is located. The muzzle is the front end of the barrel where the projectiles exit upon firing. The sights are attached to the barrel to help the shooter align the gun accurately. Action includes the receiver, bolt or breech block, the firing pin, the trigger, the trigger guard and the safety. The safety is a mechanism that, once engaged, is designed to prevent a gun from firing by locking its trigger into place. It is usually located near the trigger or on the trigger guard. The safety may be located in different places on various models of guns. See the specific owner s manual for the gun. It is the user s responsibility to know how the safety operates. Safeties, being mechanical devices can fail. They are not fool proof! Safeties are not normally used (engaged and disengaged for every shot) in target shooting because the primary safety in target shooting is the open action. More importantly, shotguns on target ranges are loaded only on the firing station and only when they are to be fired at a target. The user is the only reliable safety when they follow the safety rules.
3 Quiz The common shotgun action types are Break open or hinge Single barrel Double barrel Over-under Side-by-side Semi-automatic Pump action Bolt action (they still exist, although not used in competitive clay target sports)
4 The Fundamental Rules for Safe Gun Handling Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use The NRA has developed three basic rules that should always be applied simultaneously when handling or using guns. The fundamental NRA rules for safe gun handling are: 1. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances. If you had a gun in your hands now, what would be the safe direction(s)? 2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger. 3. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and look into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
5 Model Correct Behavior Set the example Safe gun handling is an individual responsibility Supervision is necessary Set the example. Each time you pick up a gun, model the correct behavior by practicing the three rules of safe gun handling: make sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction, the finger is off the trigger and the gun is unloaded. When handing a gun to another person, the three rules of gun safety must be observed simultaneously, i.e., gun pointed in a safe direction, finger off the trigger, safety engaged, if possible, magazine empty, action open, and empty chamber visible. The gun should not be accepted from another person unless its magazine is empty, its action open, and its chamber empty.
6 When Using or Storing a Gun Always follow these NRA rules Be sure the gun is safe to operate Know how to use the gun safely Use only the correct ammunition for your gun Be sure the gun is safe to operate. Just like other tools, guns need regular maintenance to remain operable. Regular cleaning and maintenance and proper storage are a part of any gun's general upkeep. Shooters must also be aware of changes in sound, recoil, and operation that may occur during firing. If there is any question concerning a gun's ability to function, a knowledgeable gunsmith should look at it. The operator s manual is the best source of information on a particular gun. Know how to use the gun safely. Before handling a gun, learn how it operates. The shooter must know how his shotgun operates its major parts, how to load and unload it, and how to clean it. Remember, a gun's mechanical safety device is never foolproof. Nothing can ever replace safe gun handling. Use only the correct ammunition for your gun. Only shot shells designed for a particular gun can be safely fired in that gun. To ensure the correct projectile or ammunition is used, check the owner s manual or the projectile type and size stamped on the gun. Ammunition can be identified by information printed on the box and sometimes stamped on the cartridge. Do not shoot the gun unless you know you have the proper ammunition.
7 When Using or Storing a Gun Always follow these NRA rules Know your target and what is beyond Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate Never use alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription or other drugs before or while shooting Know your target and what is beyond. The range Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) specify the types and calibers of guns, what targets and distances targets may be placed, and the types of shooting activities permitted. Violations of the SOPs could cause a hazardous condition. Shooters must check their targets and what is beyond every time they shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second. Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate. Guns make sound that can cause hearing damage. Guns can also emit debris and gas that could cause eye injuries. For these reasons, shooting glasses and hearing protectors should be worn by shooters and spectators. The range SOPs should specify that all range users, including spectators, should wear eye and ear protection to prevent injury. Never use alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription or other drugs before or while shooting. Alcohol, as well as any other substance likely to impair normal mental or physical bodily functions, must not be used before or while handling or shooting guns. Examples include prescription and non-prescription drugs, such as cold medicines, that may cause drowsiness, nervousness, balance problems, or other side effects. Anyone taking any medication or substance that may impair normal mental or physical bodily functions should be prohibited from the range.
8 When Using or Storing a Gun Always follow these NRA rules Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons Be aware that certain types of guns and many shooting activities require additional safety precautions Cleaning Make absolutely sure that it is unloaded Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons. Safe and secure storage requires that untrained individuals (especially children) be denied access to guns. A variety of safes, cases, and other security devices are available to securely store guns. Many factors must be considered when deciding where and how to store guns. Your particular situation will be a major part of the consideration. In the case of personally owned guns, the gun owner is responsible for the safekeeping of his/her gun(s). Be aware that certain types of guns and many shooting activities require additional safety precautions. For example, some shotguns are equipped with a release trigger. This type of trigger fires the gun upon releasing the pressure on the trigger which is significantly different from that in many modern firearms and require special procedures for safe use. Cleaning Regular cleaning is important in order for any gun to operate correctly and safely. Taking proper care of it will also maintain its value and extend its life. Firearms may need to be cleaned every time they are used. A gun brought out of prolonged storage should also be cleaned before shooting. Accumulated moisture and dirt, or solidified grease and oil, can prevent the gun from operating properly. Before cleaning any gun, make absolutely sure that it is unloaded. The gun's action should be open during the cleaning process. Also, be absolutely sure that no ammunition is present in the cleaning area.
9 Handling Guns Off The Firing Range Removing a shotgun from the case Removing multiple guns from one case Individual safety precautions REMEMBER: Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Removing a Shotgun From the Case Another good idea to use for safety is to clearly mark the outside of the gun case with an arrow indicating which direction the shotgun inside is pointing. This will help ensure that when the case is opened, the shotgun will already be pointing in a safe direction. On some gun cases it is obvious which end is the muzzle, but in others it is unclear. Open the case; keeping your finger off the trigger, immediately engage the mechanical safety, if possible; if the gun has a removable magazine, remove it; open the action (leave the bolt to the rear of semi-automatics), and look and feel (if possible) into the chamber; confirm that the safety is engaged (in the ON position); remove the gun from the case and place it in an appropriate gun rack. Some shotguns (hinge action guns) can be taken apart, that is the barrel(s) can be removed from the action, and placed in a smaller case for easy transport. Assembly of the gun is required to make it ready for shooting. Safety practices are still important regarding keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction and finger off the trigger. Removing Multiple Guns From One Case Open the case; without touching the other gun(s) in the case, the first gun is immediately pointed in a safe direction, finger off the trigger, immediately engaging the mechanical safety, if possible; if the gun has a removable magazine, remove it; open the action (leave the bolt to the rear of semi-automatics), and look into the chamber; confirm that the safety is engaged (in the ON position); remove the gun from the case and place it in an appropriate gun rack. Immediately follow the same procedure for the second and/or subsequent gun(s).
10 Special Safety Rules International Trap and Double Trap American Trap International and American Skeet Safety is a conscious action, not a sub-conscious one. International Trap & Double Trap - the shooter may travel between stations 1 through 5 with the action open and shells in the gun. Once the shooter on the left has completed shooting the shooter on the next station may now close his/her gun and has 10 seconds to call for the target. After shooting on station 5 the gun must be open & empty as the shooter proceeds to station 1. American Trap - the shooter may reload & close his/her gun immediately after firing while waiting for his/her turn. The shooter may not advance to the next station until everyone on the squad has completed shooting the 5 shots required at their station. Guns must be unloaded when changing stations. International & American Skeet - the gun can only be loaded when the shooter is on the station. The shooter may not advance to the next station until everyone on the squad has completed shooting the previous station. International Skeet When the squad advances to Station 8, they must stand in shooting order behind the referee on an imaginary line drawn between the center of station 8 and station 4. The first shooter positions himself in a normal manner on Station 8 and, after loading the gun with one cartridge only, shoots the high house target. Then he must turn clockwise (to the right, in the direction of the target crossing post) and only then, after completing the turn, position himself for the low house, load his gun with one cartridge only and shoot the low house target. He must then leave the station and move to the rear of the line of shooters who have still to shoot. Each shooter will do the same in succession.
11 Summary Safety is the most important area in marksmanship Safety is everybody s business Remember and always follow the Safe Gun Handling Rules Research additional safety information There is no substitute for safety in competitive shooting. Nothing is more important! Everyone should be involved in monitoring safety. Safety is everyone s business, not just the Range Officer s. When anyone views an unsafe act action should be taken immediately. Whether a shooter, coach, or spectator when a safety violation is observed it the responsibility of all to take positive and corrective action. All shooting organizations are very concerned that everyone follow the three Safe Gun Handling Rules: 1. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction 2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, and 3. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. The Safe Gun Handling Rules and common sense can prevent accidents.
Always handle the gun as if it is loaded!
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the
