Why is shooting safety so important?

Shooting can be an adrenaline-pumping sport, but it can also be calming. It depends on how you look at it. However, there are many people who see shooting as dangerous and even say that it is a sport that should be abolished. But you would hardly find a sport where safety is taken as seriously as shooting. Public shooting ranges are well aware of this, saying that firearms are not toys Outbackprague. Whether you are holding a sports pistol, an air rifle or any other weapon in your hand, you must realize that safety comes first. After all, one single mistake can have irreversible consequences.

A weapon is a tool for us. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not dangerous in itself, it is only the person holding it in their hand that makes it dangerous. And if they are not careful enough or do not know how to use it correctly, the danger can be there before we know it.

That is why certain rules are important and should always be followed.

We consider every gun loaded

Even if you are 100% sure that the gun is unloaded, never act like it is. Always approach the gun as if it is loaded and can fire.

Do not aim at anything except the target

Never aim at anything you do not want to hit. Always point the barrel in a safe area. That is, at the ground or at the target. And never, ever point the barrel at a person in your life.

Keep your finger off the trigger

Our body is unpredictable. We can encounter various tics, twitches, muscle reflexes. The trigger on a gun is so sensitive that it only takes a fleeting touch and it will fire. Therefore, always keep your finger off the trigger until you are really ready to shoot.

What is behind the target?

It is great that you have your target and are aiming for it. But make sure you know what is behind it before you shoot. A bullet can fly through a target and hit what is behind it.
