 Keep the Gun pointed in a safe direction at all times. Do not treat the firearm as a toy. Only load the gun when you are ready to shoot. Know what is behind the target. An example from a real safety waiver:
1. The risk of handling firearms and being near others that have firearms in their

possession; 2. The risk of ear damage from noise; 3. The risk of injury from ammunition, clay targets and shot from other guns; 4. Walking in rugged country, including encounters with wildlife, animals and insects; (Buffer Creek)
