The Importance of Cleaning You Gun

The Importance of Cleaning Your Gun

WWW.TheTriggerTrainer.Net-

Cleaning your firearm is critical. However, it is the one thing that seems to be the most neglected in firearm safety. True, it isn’t the greatest activity we would like to spend our time doing but it is still critical nonetheless. There are multiple, serious ramifications that can occur if your firearm is not properly cleaned, including feeding and accuracy troubles.

Cleaning your firearm is not difficult to do. You will need to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on how to properly clean your firearm. There are many different gun cleaning kits on the market that make this process even easier.

You will also want to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on how often you should clean your firearm. Often times, it is recommended that you clean your firearm every 1000 rounds. But there are several factors that could cause you to have to clean your firearm more frequently. One of those factors is the type of ammunition you choose to use. A lot of the cheaper ammunitions will cause your firearm to dirty much faster- something you want to make sure you are aware of.

There are many different reasons why you should clean your firearm and again, it isn’t the most exciting activity we can spend our time doing, but the most critical. This is especially true if you are relying on your firearm for personal protection. If you were ever to need to use your firearm you would want it to shoot as accurately as possible and the only way to ensure that is by making sure you clean it to the manufacturer’s instructions as often as the manufacturer specifies.

Designed so you can practice trigger control without the worry of cleaning, try the Trigger Trainer. The Trigger Trainer allows a shooter to build muscle memory and finger dexterity without spending money on ammo and range time. For more information, visit: WWW.TheTriggerTrainer.Net

Safety Tips for the Shooting Range

In a previous post I discussed the importance of quality practice time on the shooting range. Today, I want to discuss the importance of firearm safety on the shooting range.

One of the biggest mistakes a shooter can make is to assume everyone at the shooting range knows how to handle a firearm safely. It is imperative to maintain a heightened sense of awareness anytime you are around firearms and the shooting range is no exception! While enjoying the excitement of putting your rounds on target and concentrating on your fundamental shooting skills, it is easy to lose focus of your surroundings. Unfortunately, that is when someone who doesn’t have solid firearm safety habits can do something foolish and hurtthemselves or someone around them – maybe even you.

Here are just a few suggestions on how to keep yourself and your shooting party safe while at the shooting range:

Everyone on the range is a Safety Officer! If you observe a shooter handling their firearm in an unsafe manner, immediately notify range management.
Make sure you are familiar with all range rules. Yes, these are pretty standard from range to range but you never want to assume that they will be the same.
Both eye protection and ear protection should be worn at all times.
Firearms should remain unloaded at all times unless you are at a firing station preparing to engage your target.
Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. (DOWN RANGE)
Keep finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Know your target and what is behind it.
Firearms should not be handled in any way while shooters are down range.
Shooting and alcohol never mix. There should never be any kind of alcohol on the shooting range and if you see any kind of alcohol you should immediately contact range management or report it to the authorities.

These are just a few simple guidelines to help keep you and your shooting party safe at the shooting range. Again, always be aware of your surroundings and if you see something unsafe happening you need to report it right away. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!!!!

Welcome to Full-Scale Tactics Inc.

Thank you for visiting Full-Scale Tactics Inc. It is my sincere hope that you will consistently find high quality information regarding firearms and firearm training here on this site. I plan to update this blog regularly so be sure to become a follower so you don’t miss any of the tips, techniques, resources and updates regarding the release of our flagship product.

About Me

I have over 12 years of firearms experience which includes the attendance of four different federal training academies. I have received some of the best firearms training available. In addition, I am a certified NRA pistol instructor.

Why I started Full-Scale Tactics?

With the number of handguns purchased in the U.S. continuing to increase each year, the need for gun owners to have access to proper firearm training is extremely critical than ever. I hope that this becomes your “go-to” source for accurate and reliable news and information on firearms, firearm safety, training devices, and other resources as they become available.

Experience has taught me the importance of consistent and frequent firearms training. It is not enough to simply own a gun. You must educate yourself on the proper ways to use your firearm and do so consistently in a safe manner. In fact, you could say your life depends on it.

Once you learn the basics of firearm safety, it is important that you engage in regular practice of these skills. Just like anything – if you don’t use it, you will lose it.

Sharing My Passion

To say that shooting is a passion of mine would be an understatement. During my experience – all of the hours I have spent in firearm training – I know that continued training and practice is essential, and I still enjoy it immensely. After 12 years, I still have the need to continually sharpen my skills and ability to use my firearm as safely and effectively as possible.

I have a desire to share my passion with others. If you are a beginner in the shooting world, I hope that you can find resources here that will enable you to become a safe and proficient shooter. If you are a veteran in the shooting world, you will be able to find additional training devices and techniques that will make you even more proficient. No matter how long you have been using firearms, there is always something to learn, and there is always a technique or resource making things better and safer than before.
