9.Always use only clean, dry, original high quality commercially manufactured ammunition, which is appropriate to the caliber of your firearm.
10.Never drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs before or during shooting.
11.Always wear safety glasses and ear protection during shooting whenever possible.

15.Never squeeze the trigger or put your finger in the trigger guard until you are aiming at a target and ready to shoot.
16.Always be absolutely sure of your target, and the area behind it, before you squeeze the trigger. A bullet could travel through or past your target up to several hundreds of meters.
17.Never shoot at a hard surface such as rock, or a liquid surface such as water.

If the firing pin indent on the cartridge is light, or non-existent, have the firearm examined by a competent gunsmith.
21.Always make sure your firearm is not loaded before cleaning, storing or travelling.
22.Always keep and store your firearm and ammunition in separate locked receptacles out of reach and sight of children and untrained people.
23.Never alter any parts of your rifle as the safety and proper function of your rifle could be seriously compromised.
24.Always be aware that corrosion, use of damaged ammunition, dropping the rifle on hard surfaces or other "coarse treatment" could cause a damage you may not see. If something like this happens let the firearm to be examined and tested by a competent gunsmith.
