My safety tip. Don’t hunt with Leon.
Good video, Mate!
I would also add follow a procedure or protocol when getting in and out of vehicles – make sure there is no live round in the chamber, make sure the saftey is engaged.
I love 22 magnums , there great little walkabout rifles.
Great tips. I am surprised how casual people are with firearms. My big safety tip – alcohol and firearms don’t mix, save it for the camp.
Nothing wrong with a healthy fear.
Hey Chris,
Rifle pointing down or up for safe direction is a hot little topic.
I’m a rifle up, shotgun down guy myself. My only reasoning is this is the carry positions taught by a lot of hunting organisations around the world and these carry positions have been adopted by NSW DPI hunting.

I’m also a rifle loaded but not actioned until I see game type of guy.

The point to my comment is really a question.
Wouldn’t pointing your rifle down increase the chance of ricochet, causing danger to the hunter and others close to the hunter?
Wouldn’t the bullet falling back to earth under gravity alone (no longer any ballistic force) be non lethal? Similar to small hail for example.
I think your safety video is a great concept. I’m just interested in if I should change my method of carry.
Thank you,
Phill
Don’t have your rifle loaded. Don’t rely on safety switch . Only have a round in chamber when aiming and ready to shoot at Target which you have identified with your binoculars . Don’t people remember the course when getting your gun licence . !!! That is the rules
When it comes to safety there is no room for error. I would simply advise to have the firearm unloaded, (bullets in magazine, not in chamber) and only load when you are about to shoot. Easy as that. If you load and don’t get the shot off as the game has run away, unload the firearm immediately, otherwise you will forget. A big safety tip would be to get in the habit of checking whether a firearm is loaded. Anytime you start a hunt, end a hunt, come into contact with anyone else, enter a vehicle and especially after you shoot at a game animal, take a moment to check whether you have loaded the firearm, because you may have done so without realizing. In the heat of the moment it is only natural that people reload after shooting at game, however not many actually take the time to check if they have done so and unload if necessary. Pretty much I’m saying that you need to be extremely aware of when a firearm is loaded or not. This stands for other people’s firearms as well. If you are in a group make sure you keep track of if their firearm has been loaded or not.
At the end of the day this is my opinion, and if you have a different method that you think works fine and it works for you, then sure keep doing that. However I think having a rifle unloaded unless your about to shoot takes the guesswork out of things. If you think it takes to long to load a round in and that game will run away, chances are you are walking too fast to begin with, and you should ask yourself if you are surprising the game animals or if they are surprising you.
Stay safe 😊
Bullets falling to earth under gravity alone pose very little threat. Only the very heavy projectiles like the 750 grain out of a 50bmg have been proven to potentially cause an injury.
