YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
FIREARMS SAFETY.
As a gun owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities. How
seriously you take these responsibilities can mean the difference
between life and death. Failure to follow any of these instructions can
cause extensive damage to your gun and/or possible serious injury or
death to yourself and others.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR CARELESS OR ABUSIVE HANDLING OF ANY
FIREARM. AT ALL TIMES HANDLE ANY FIREARM WITH INTENSE RESPECT
FOR ITS POWER AND POTENTIAL DANGER.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE CAUTIONS AND PROPER HANDLING
PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS BOOKLET BEFORE USING YOUR
NEW FIREARM.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE OF ANY FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION.
Do this even though you are certain it is unloaded.
Never point any firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
Be extremely alert and aware of all persons and property within
the range of your ammunition.

shooter does not load his or her gun until moments before a bird is
called for. For this reason, and because trapshooting demands intense
concentration on shooting technique, no manual safety is provided
on your BT-99. There is then no chance for a lost bird by reason of
the safety being inadvertently left “on safe.”
LOAD YOUR BT-99 TRAP GUN ONLY WHEN SHOOTING IS IMMINENT.
ONCE LOADED, THIS GUN IS READY TO FIRE AND SHOULD BE
RESPECTED AS SUCH.
NEVER TEST THE MECHANISM OF ANY FIREARM WHILE IT IS LOADED
OR POINTED IN AN UNSAFE DIRECTION.

WHENEVER YOU HANDLE ANY FIREARM, OR HAND IT TO SOMEONE,
MAKE SURE IT IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
Always open the action
immediately, and visually check the chamber. Make certain that the
