Supervision is required whenever a new shooter has a weapon. An experienced shooter should be on the novices shoulder at all times!
Look at her form, is it a surprise she went down? Her shoulders are behind her hips and her weight is already behind her center of balance. This is why Supervision is important when new shooters are introduced to firearms!
This isn’t her fault, its whomever handed her that shotgun without giving her proper instruction.
Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.
Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as loaded at all times.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
This is a clear violation of Rule 2.
