When I was taught to shoot the basic rules I was taught to use whilst on a firing range where and I still follow are:

1. NEVER point your weapon at another human being, loaded or unloaded

2. Unless you are live firing safety on, even if your weapon is unloaded

3. Always point a loaded weapon downrange

4. If given a weapon by someone else always check yourself to verify if it is loaded or unloaded

5. Always make sure your weapon is in a good, serviceable and well maintained condition

6. Use your common sense, e.g. if a large bird suddenly lands on your shooting lane whilst you are firing don't shoot it and cease all firing

I was taught how to shoot by qualifed instructors whilst I was a part of the UK Air Training Corps (ATC) or as it is commonly known as the Air Cadets
