Exercise Safe Firearm Handling.

• Always point firearms, loaded or otherwise, in a safe direction that, should it discharge, no catastrophe would result. Keep your finger off of the trigger until ready to fire.  Keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use.

• Do not touch or handle firearms for any reason, if anybody is forward of the line. Do not handle clips, magazines, ammunition, scopes, or any other device which is on the firing line if anybody is forward of the line.

• In all circumstances, shooters on a particular range shall cease fire and “CLEAR” their firearms before another shooter starts forward. (“CLEAR” means that actions are open, ammunition and magazines are removed, and all persons step back from the line).

• After clearing their firearm, each shooter will declare CLEAR before anyone moves forward of the firing line. When everybody has returned behind the firing line each shooter will declare the LINE IS HOT before shooters can again commence firing.
