YOUR MUZZLELOADING RIFLE
Congratulations on your purchase of a Traditions muzzleloader.
You have selected a muzzleloading firearm designed and engineered
to give today’s shooters the highest performance and optimum
accuracy. When given the respect and care that any firearm demands,
you can expect many years of reliable service and enjoyable hunting
from your new Traditions muzzleloader.
A person using any firearm has elected to take on an enormous
responsibility. This manual contains instructions, cautions and
dangers for the safe enjoyable use of your Traditions muzzleloader.
Shooting a firearm is a serious endeavor. These instructions and
precautions should always be followed during each shooting session.
Safe firearm handling, loading and shooting are your responsibility
and requires that you understand and respect the design and function
of your firearm. All firearms can be very dangerous if misused,
handled improperly or not properly maintained.
Like all firearms, muzzleloaders can be dangerous. Your purchase
of this firearm implies that you accept all the responsibilities
associated with its proper handling, use and care. Also, if in the hands
of another, realize that you have the duty to insure that that person
handles your firearm in the correct and proper manner.
Tradition's markets a "How to" Muzzleloading video called The
Basics of Muzzleloading. This video is very helpful in understanding
the basic steps and procedures involved in loading, shooting, cleaning
and maintaining your muzzleloader. This video can be purchased
from your local sporting goods dealer or direct from Traditions
Firearms by calling 1-800-526-9556.
CAUTION: If you sell, trade or give this rifle to another
person, be sure to give the new owner a copy of this
manual.
Copies of this manual are available free of
charge from Traditions Performance Firearms.
