1) Eye & Hearing Protection

• ALWAYS USE EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION, and make bystanders use the same.
• Failure to do so may result in eye injuries and permanent hearing loss.

   

2) Always Point in a Safe Direction

• Do not point at anything you do not intend to shoot, even if the air gun is unloaded.
• Always keep the air gun pointed in a safe direction.
• Never point an air gun toward yourself by the muzzle.
  

3) Target Awareness & Pellet Travel

• Always aim at a safe target, making sure it does not conceal any other object.
• Before you shoot, consider where the pellet will travel if you miss your intended target, ensuring no damage or harm could result.
• Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. Never shoot at sounds.

4) Use a Safe Shooting Range

• Always use a safe shooting range:

   

  • a safe area for shooting

     

  • a safe distance between you and the target

     

  • a safe backstop to trap pellets and hold the target

     

• Do not shoot at targets that allow ricochets or deflections.
• Do not shoot into or at water.

   

5) Stay Away from Power Lines

• Do not shoot at or near power lines or insulators.
• Be especially careful in wooded areas where power lines may not be as visible

6) Loading & Trigger Discipline

• Do not load the air gun until you are ready to shoot.
• Always keep your fingers away from the trigger and muzzle during cocking and handling.

7) Carrying, Climbing, and Transport

• Do not run or jump when carrying a loaded or cocked air gun.

   

• A loaded or cocked air gun should never be carried inside a vehicle, house, camp, or public place.

   

• Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a loaded air gun.

   

  • First unload it, then hand it to a friend or place it on the ground on the other side of the obstacle before crossing yourself.
    

8) Safe Mode & Storage

• When transporting the air gun, keep it unloaded and ON SAFE.
• Always keep the air gun on safe until you are ready to shoot, even if it is unloaded.
• Do not put the air gun away loaded and unattended.
• Always check to see if the air gun is on safe and unloaded when getting it from another person or from storage.

9) Keep Out of Reach of Children

• Always keep the air gun and/or pellets out of the reach of children.
• Keep the air gun and pellets in separate places, preferably under lock and key

10) Do Not Disassemble or Tamper

• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your air gun. Use a competent gunsmith.
• Many air guns contain powerful springs or high-pressure air cylinders, which can cause serious injury if released in an uncontrolled manner.

11) Responsibility & Safe Behavior

• Always handle and treat your air gun as though it were loaded.
• Improper use or handling of air guns is not the responsibility of the manufacturer or distributor under any circumstances. The user is responsible for any harm that may be caused.
• Think first, shoot second. Don’t rely on any mechanical safety. Half safe is not safe.
• Be safe, not sorry. Respect other people’s property.
• Air guns should never be used under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
