Training & Safety

At Oakfield, firearm education and safety is paramount. While you’re at the shooting range or anywhere you handle a firearm safety ALWAYS comes first.

The fundamental rules for safe gun handling are:

Keep the Gun Pointed in a Safe Direction
ALWAYS Keep The Gun Pointed In A Safe Direction

This is the primary rule of gun safety. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.

Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Ready To Shoot
ALWAYS Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Ready To Shoot

When holding a gun, rest your finger alongside the frame and outside the trigger guard. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.

Keep The Gun Unloaded Until Ready To Use
ALWAYS Keep The Gun Unloaded Until Ready To Use

If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
