A Word On Safety:
Who is Responsible for Safety?
You are, I am, We all are ...
- ALWAYS keep the firearm pointed in a SAFE direction.
- ALWAYS keep your finger OFF the trigger until ready to shoot.
- ALWAYS keep the firearm UNLOADED until ready to use.
- ALWAYS wear Eye and Ear protection at all times when shooting and on the range.
And ALWAYS follow these safety rules too:
- Know your target and what is beyond.

- Be sure that the firearms is safe to operate.
- Use only the correct ammunition for the firearm.
- NEVER use alcohol or drugs before or while shooting.
- Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons (CHILDREN).

Safety is utmost at Mobile Marksman Courses, Orientations and Days At The Range. No unsafe situation will be tolerated and the instructor reserve's the right to terminate the lesson or remove a student with no refund if they present a hazard to themselves, other students, the classroom/range, others present, the instructor or their property.
In our classroom and home sessions there will be no loaded/live ammo present - We use dummy rounds when demonstrating loading, unloading and operation of real guns. Orange plastic training guns are used as well to teach safe gun handling.
If a student brings a firearm into the classroom it must be unloaded with the action open and empty and with the instructor's knowledge and permission.
On the range eye and ear protection must always we worn - No exceptions.
Only factory manufactured ammunition will be used in our courses. All students are responsible for participating in the creation and maintainance of our safe environment.
No alcohol before or during our courses, clinics and orientations.
No eating/drinking while handling/carrying firearms.
All firearms are carried to the range uncased with actions open and empty (pistols & revolvers may be cased). All firearms passed between shooters during sessions must be presented with actions opened and empty and this will be verified and acknowledged - Safety First!
