Gun Handling Advice


Palindrome, SASS #54445

Recommended Posts

Don’t shoot with an empty gun. If you do, although the detonation may be loud and deafening, no execution will be done. Do not overcharge your piece, lest you explode it and hurt yourself. This is sometimes the case. If you are not an experienced marksman, do not attempt to shoot your game on the wing. Let it settle, otherwise, you may waste your ammunition. Repeaters are not the best, perhaps, for ordinary use. Better see that there are sights on your gun, and then take proper aim, or else you may do mischief when you don’t intend it. Be careful to have the right end of your gun toward you, if you wish to shoot again. Upon the whole, you had better be careful of guns; they are dangerous things sometimes when there are many of them about in either experienced or inexperienced hands.
