Definition
Gun safety refers to the set of rules, practices, and habits designed to ensure that firearms are handled responsibly and without risk to shooters or others. In clay shooting, strict adherence to gun safety is essential to prevent accidents on the range.
Further Explanations
Gun safety is built on universal principles that apply in all shooting sports. Following them creates a safe environment for practice and competition while building trust between participants.
Core rules of gun safety include:
-
Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded
-
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times
-
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
-
Be aware of your target and what is beyond it
-
Use the correct ammunition for your firearm
-
Wear eye and ear protection
In clay shooting, additional discipline-specific habits, such as keeping the action open until on the stand, are equally important.
