Hunting and target shooting are among the safest of all sports. Part of the reason is that young and new shooters are introduced properly by responsible adults. The following 10 rules for firearm safety are passed along from shooter to shooter and keep us all safe in the field. Please join us in passing this tradition along.
Failure to adhere to the following safety rules can result in property damage and/or serious personal injury. Read and understand them before attempting to reload ammunition.
Every state and province has some hunter education training requirements in order to hunt within their jurisdiction. To find out more about hunter education classes in your area, visit the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA).
