Hunter Safety The ringnecked pheasant on the wing
is indeed a great sporting challenge. You may be firing quite a few rounds
each day. Don’t wreck you body with magnum loads or 3 ½ inch bombs. A well-placed, nickel or copper plated 4 or
5 shot in 2 ¾ inch 12 gauge or 3 inch 20 gauge will be very adequate. We strongly recommend the use of
break action shotguns for increased firearm safety. Regardless of type of gun
used, we expect nothing less than perfect gun handling etiquette. With your
safety of highest priority, the guides will enforce this. Except when you are
on the drive, guns will be visibly open. Doubles will be broke open, pumps
and auto will be open, (if your auto does not remain open, wedge a shotshell
in it). At all times guns will be pointed away from any living thing. When All shots will be taken up, never
parallel to the ground or lower. Ground shots are never allowed. Birds on the
ground belong to the dogs. Very simply, if it there is even the slightest
chance you do not have a safe shot, do not take it. You are going to see so
many birds; there will always be another. For everyone’s sake, always think
and practice gun safety. You will never forget an accidental discharge of a
shotgun, and you will have a lifetime of nightmares should that discharge
have struck a fellow hunter or dog. Each morning, prior to going to the
fields, you are encouraged to warm up on the trap range. Trap loads are
complimentary. Certified shooting coaches are on staff and can help you with
some fine tuning if you wish. We are going to have
a safe hunt; we are going to enjoy a great hunt! |
