1. Firearm Anatomy and Classification

2. Firearm Safety Main outcome of Firearm Safety is to prevent firearm and hunting accidents and to ensure the future of hunting and shooting sports through the compliances with laws, regulations and ethics. (Accident data!)

3. Basic parts of a gun

4. Shotgun and Rifle Actions ACTION  Loads, fires and ejects the ammunition CHAMBER = portion of breech end of barrel which holds the shell or cartridge.

5. ShotgunRifle Shotgun vs. Rifle A shoulder-fired firearm  Usually with a smooth bore  Shoots shot pellets made of lead, steel, or alloy  Effective range is 50 yards or less (Further with slugs) A shoulder-fired firearm  With spiral grooves cut into the inner surface of the barrel  Shoots a single projectile a long distance

17. Why is the safety RED? Doesn’t RED mean STOP? RED = Danger YELLOW = Caution GREEN = Safe

18.  Rifles shoot single projectiles called: “balls” (muzzleloaders) or “bullets”  Rifles measured in calibers the bore diameter is in one thousands of an inch or measured in millimeters.  Examples: 30 - 30, 30 - 06, 308, 243, 6mm, 9mm RIFLES!

19. Rifle bullets have very high velocity, good for long range accuracy. (Know your target and beyond!!!)

20. SHOTGUNS  Gauge: determined by the number of lead balls equal to the diameter of the bore to weigh one pound. The smaller the gauge the larger the number.  i.e. it takes 12 lead balls the same diameter as a 12-gauge shotgun bore to weigh one pound.  Gauges of shotguns:  410 gauge (only exception) this one measured in caliber  28 gauge  20 gauge  16 gauge  12 gauge  10 gauge  8 gauge

29. 30-06 Where do we look to see what cartridge a gun is chambered for? 30-06

30. WHAT CARTRIDGE IS THIS GUN CHAMBERED FOR? 12 GA FULL CHOKE 3” MAG

31. Is this a good match?

32. THERE MAY ALSO BE CHOKE DATA ON THE BARREL 12GA FULL CHOKE 3”MAG This barrel has a FIXED choke – It is not removable or adjustable

33. Removable Shotgun Chokes Improved SM 22

34. Effect of choke on shot spread at various distances

35. SHOT PELLETS VARY ACCORDING TO SIZE AND COMPOSITION. LEAD SHOT IS HEAVIER THAN STEEL SHOT. LEAD SHOT HAS AN ALLOY ADDED “ANTIMONY” TO INCREASE HARDNESS. HARDER SHOT PELLETS (MAGNUM SHOT) DEFORM LESS AND STAY ON COURSE FOR GOOD PATTERNS.

36. PATTERNS DF: THE SPREAD OF THE SHOT AFTER IT LEAVES THE BARREL

37. GAUGE IDENTIFICATION & SHELL LENGTH 12 GA FOR 2 3/4“ SHELLS
