Air Rifle Safety Rules

Always Observe The Following Safety Rules:

Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Check, check and check again especially when receiving a gun from someone else.
Never point any airgun, either loaded or unloaded, at any person
Always keep the airgun pointed in a safe direction,
Guns not in use should always be unloaded.
Only cock or load a gun when you are shooting at the firing point. When in the Safe Zone do not load the airgun.
Always wear the appropriate eye protection at all times when handling your air firle or pistol
Always keep you airgun unloaded until ready to fire and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and ready to shoot.
If you have a problem please inform the range officer before trying to correct the problem or before leaving the firing point.
Never rely on an airgun's "safety" to protect you from unsafe handling. A safety is a mechanical device, not a substitute for common sense and good safety procedures.
Never leave an airgun unattended.
Store airguns beyond the reach of children. THIS IS NOW THE LAW IN THE UK Make sure the airgun and pellets are locked away and secured
Never carry an uncovered air rifle or pistol in public, it is a criminal offense and could result in you facing a police firearms unit.

THE RANGE OFFICER'S INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES
