SuperMicks list is a must, but would like to add before you shoot you must survey the area your shooting, know the place or ground your on and make sure your back drop is safe.
Do this and always be vigilant and aware to make sure you and anything around you will be safe.
Follow the tips from SuperMicks post in relation to handling the gun and you will find you will relax and enjoy your sport.
Happy shooting.
Regards
Tony
