ALWAYS WEAR ADEQUATE AND PROPER EAR PROTECTION
SPECIFIED FOR FIREARM USE
to prevent permanent damage to
your hearing. Make sure any and all bystanders that are nearby are
wearing ear protection as well.
ALWAYS WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION SPECIFIED FOR
FIREARM USE.
Regardless of whether you are outdoors or indoors
you must always wear proper eye protection as it will protect your eyes
from debris and particles that are associated with the firing of a
muzzleloader. Failure to wear proper eye protection puts you and any
bystanders at risk of personal injury from particle or debris spitting
or
ricochets.
ALWAYS WEAR PROPER CLOTHING WHEN FIRING A
MUZZLELOADER.
Wearing long sleeves and pants is recommended
to protect arms from any debris or particles that may be ejected during
firing.
NEVER USE ANY ALCOHOL OR DRUGS OR MEDICATIONS THAT
IMPAIR YOUR ABILITIES BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING OR
HANDLING ANY FIREARM.
ALWAYS BE ALERT AND AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
WHEN FIRING. IF SHOOTING AT A RANGE, ALWAYS FOLLOW
THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OF THE RANGE OFFICER.
Never
shoot if you are tired, cold or impaired in any way.
ALWAYS BE AWARE OF OTHER PEOPLE in the area so that no one
inadvertently walks into your line of fire.
NEVER SHOOT AT HARD SURFACES, WATER OR RANDOMLY
INTO THE SKY.
Always select a place to shoot that has a safe
backstop and is free from obstructions and surfaces which cause
ricochets.
NEVER SMOKE OR ALLOW ANY BYSTANDERS TO SMOKE
WHILE SHOOTING OR HANDLING A MUZZLELOADING FIREARM.
ALWAYS KEEP ALL POWDER AND LOADING COMPONENTS
WELL AWAY FROM THE MUZZLELOADER WHEN FIRING.
WARNING: NEVER RELY ON MECHANICAL FEATURES ALONE.
ONLY YOUR SAFE GUN HANDLING WILL ENSURE THE SAFE
USE OF YOUR FIREARM. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
