No stupid jokes, no unnecessary intros, no loud music. Just straight to the point, excellent.
01:45 the gun they have been carrying around pointing at people all the time! 🤦♂🤣
WOW GUN JUST THROWN IN BAG THERES YOUR PROBLEM!
Exactly. It's got old school feel to it. No clout bs.
Man I can’t play my favorite song it goes all the other kids wiht the pumped up kicks
bbb
I was at the range the other day and a guy kept flagging the whole line of shooters with his gun. I went over to tell him to keep his gun down range and he replied it's not a big deal and kept doing it. After a chat with the range master he got kicked out. I'm not going to get shot by some idiot.
BRAVE SOUL
Safety first and never let the idiots stay
Damn moron. I'm new to this, but I learned that when I was 8 with airsoft.
lol, but did he wait for you outside?
@Mytia George find somewhere else to spam, please.
I'm glad people noticed that when the range officer called for clearing of firearms, the host of this video cleared his chamber before removing the magazine. This is wrong because by cycling the action without removing the magazine first, it may load another round into the chamber.
Always remove the magazine first when making a firearm safe.
Yeah, where I go we remove magazine, clear chamber+lock back slide, the rangemaster then visualle checks the chamber to clear us before we put away the weapon (outdoors practical shooting).
Maraak .Nor Proper procedure
AR556NATO ....THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAW TOO. I WAS HAPPY WITH THIS VIDEO UNTIL THAT MISTAKE.
I caught that the first time I saw this at the range, took a buddy later and told him to mention it during their verbal quiz lol.
Pretty amazing that it slipped by editing.
Good catch and correct about the sequence for safeing a semiautomatic, but if you lock back the slide it can not chamber another round, chambering a round is accomplished by the slide coming back forward and pushing a round from the magazine into the chamber,
I like him, he's like the Mr. Rogers of gun etiquette hehehe ... Thanks for the info.
💀💀💀
The Mr. Rogers of gun etiquette! 😂 I see it, and love it!! I was thinking the same thing lol.
Except he cleared the gun incorrectly
Kind of like hickock45 is the mr Rogers of his show ☺️
Mr Roger's but can fill your chest with 45 acp in a minute.
If you ever want to own a firearm, these are things you need to know. Being American, I hope all gun owners would know all these rules.
Not only if you want to own a gun, people in general should know about gun safety, even if to prevent accidental shootings.
@@Shouszen Have you ever seen the gun idiot videos on YT?
It’s quite a responsibility.
haha thought I heard you're homeboy say "good shit man"
dank9288639 I swear I heard that too😂😂😂
05:19
Yooo me 2 son🤣🤣🤣
I am fucking weak LOL
Aren't you supposed to remove the magazine first, clear it, and secure the slide?
I actually even commented on that a few years ago and yes you are correct he was supposed to but people like to argue with my comment and say that it is okay not to but I have had safety officers at gun ranges tell me that he made a mistake and was supposed to drop the mag first.
Yeeeesss. That was poor firearm safety. Drop mag, cycle 3x.
Thank you that annoyed me to its take out mag lock back slide the secure round that fell
Can i try your gun
Yeah sure
*uses all the rounds*
You're supposed to but it really does make a difference. Gun is safe either way you do it.
im pretty new to shooting and ive been struggling with hitting the middle of the target, but today at the range, something just clicked and by the end of the day it was like i couldnt miss. such a satisfying feeling. i cannot wait to get back
Great tips to get newcomers into shooting in a safe way.
One remark though.
I live in Belgium, gun laws (and safety rules) are REALLY tight here.
At 4:30 the lady is holding her revolver with her right hand, and is also cocking the hammer with her right hand.
Near my range that's not even allowed, because you'd supposedly lose a bit of your control on the gun when you're cocking it with the same hand that you're holding it with.
On top of that, you'll shoot more accurate because the gun will move less if you use your other hand to cock the hammer.
Just though I'd share what I've been told.
Revolvers were always made to be shot and recocked one-handed for single action. Likely just a range rule, made due to those with small or weak hands, low dexterity, or just low safe handling skills; while shooting every sort of revolver out there.
Probably a good point on accuracy though, at least in theory.
definitely a very informative video I'm showing it to my family members now tomorrow's our first time at range. I've dealt with firearms before but always good as a refresher for the new shooters
5:49, like LoneStarHandgun said: "The reason we take the magazine outta the handgun 1st is 2 get rid of the ability for new rounds to go into that chamber."
I’ve been watching lots of youtube videos about gun safety and this one is specifically in the shooting range, the most comprehensive one I’ve ever watched. I will take it.👍
This is a great video, and very well planned out. I had my mother watch this before we went to the range. It's great beginner's instructional content.
This is a really well made video, it goes through the WHOLE process on the range, instead of just telling you and saying "now you're ready to shoot" without demonstrating anything. :)
Very accurate and professional information for first-time shooters. I appreciate it very much.
This is the most professional and to the point video I’ve found on this topic yet. I could watch a whole series of videos from this guy. Thanks!
Most excellent and informative video for newbies like me. Thank you for providing this wonderful instructional for new shooters.
I’ve looked at almost 100 of these videos and this is the first one that is actually good
I'm sure this has been pointed out several times now, but you're supposed to drop the mag before you clear it, for you may accidently load a new round in the chamber.
Great vid. However the magazine should be removed first, then the slide locked back, not the other way around seen here.
Agreed, it does not take much to hit the slide release.
I noticed that too.
Yeah, I wondered why they did it that way. I'm not at a formal range very often so I thought there might be a real reason, but it didn't make sense to me to lock the slide back if the magazine was still in the gun.
Eww dirty
Actually that's not true. When unloading a firearm, the goal it to make it safe. When you remove the magazine first, the round in the chamber is still a live round, and in the process of removing the magazine, the trigger could be accidentally pulled. When you lock the slide back first, it removes the live round from the chamber and when you lock it back, it prevents it from loading another. Then the magazine is removed. Remember the goal is to make it safe. The round in the chamber is more "dangerous" than the rounds in the magazine, because it's the round that's in the position to be fired. Would make much sense to do that step last. Always clear the chamber by locking the slide back first. No matter how many rounds are in the magazine, they can't fire if the slide is locked back. Many people may not be used to this, but if your going by the books, this is the correct way. Most professional handgun trainers preach this as well.
Thanks for the video! No one wants to be that guy at the range that doesn't know what the heck they're doing
That is why I am so glad that I joined a private range, everyone that I meet there is professional, safe, & willing to help others. I have seen too many unsafe events at public ranges. if you get an opportunity to join a private range you should consider it.
great video I'm getting into guns and it's always good to learn safety guns are not toys but you can have a lot of fun using them at the range thank you for all the safety tips
Amazing how many people don't know any of this and yet they are out there shooting away. Great vid!
Outstanding explanation. I'm interested on mounting, dismounting and firing a fire weapon. Never had that chance. However this video gives me the head start on how to handle them properly.
Outstanding explanation.
Fantastic video! Thanks for this. As a new shooter still looking to make it to the range (extremely new!), this is very helpful, empowering and motivating.
Going to the range for the first time today. Good video to watch.
Except for the one mistake everyone keeps
Talking about, this was a great video. Thanks
Lol I thought Jeff in the blue shirt said "good shit man!" Instead of "good shooting" haha
Here's a tip: watch the video at 5:16 with closed captions turned on.
I'm thinking that taking a poop on the range and having the next guy step in it is not a good idea?
Andy T beautiful catch dude.
Andy T LOL
lol
lol
Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to be very detailed about the process.
Ahhh, I love this:) I go to a range close to my area here in Arizona. I haven't been to it since the ammo shortage and I'm looking forward to going back! I definitely need to get a refresher, though, aha. I'll be asking my local range for further rules and instructions for safety and precaution, but this video gives me a lot of extra confidence:)
What the hell ever happen to "TREAT EVERY WEAPON AS IF IT WERE LOADED" That should have been first!
jimmymac63 it’s written in giant letters on the wall
There's also "Know your target and what is behind it".
Treat every weapon as you'd like to be treated...
@@BedsitBob Know you target and everything IN LINE with your target. Far more people get inadvertently shot when they get between someone and the target. Almost never behind. Sadly a Fudd org apparently owns the rules...
Because "ALL guns are ALWAYS loaded!" "Treat as if.." would be torn up in court as there is no real specification; is there?? And people are just plain lazy when it comes to basic safety. ;)
very good info! never been to a shooting range before and thought about goin' to get as much info on how to properly use firearms and to soak in the tips on safe usage
Teaching my fiance about firearms and firearm safety and she found this very helpful and easy to understand! I'm excited to take her to the range soon now that she has a good idea of how to handle and be safe, excellent video
My range uses this video for people using the range for the first time. I think this is a great video.
THANK YOU
That was a very informative video. Easy to understand. Great clear voice. I feel he covered all the bases. Thanks again for making tge very professional video and posting it!
Thank you for sharing your safety tips.
This is great. I am going to see if our club want to get all new shooters to watch it!!
Thank you for the rules of gun safety! I was scared of guns but videos like these are great!!
Very good video. Being very new to shooting I am glad I found this to watch.
Great video. Very helpful for the beginner shooter. Also good for the experianced shooter to remind them of the right way to act at the range. A+++
Great Safety Tips... As new shooter I can never heard them too many times....!
thank you for the information and guidnace pertaining safe and correct manner in handling gun
The three safety rules for gunranges are all that is necessary but not when using a firearm on a daily basis. Most CCW classes and competitions teach Cooper's and the IDPA rules. Here they are: 1. All guns are loaded[An easy way of teaching that all guns are treated as loaded]. 2. Don't let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target. 4. Be sure of your target and what's behind it. Thanks for the video.
Nice Video. I will going to the range for the first time soon here and this was very helpful.
Beautifuly put.. great video.. this newbie is much appreciative.
Fun and informative !!
Thank you for the great vid!
This was awesome safety at range video , good job
Plan on going to a range soon. I've shot firearms before in a country setting with family, but never at a range. This video was very informative, basically what I was looking for 👍
GREAT AWESOME video. I'm going to a shooting range for the first time in my life with my very first guns (1 rifle and 1 pistol) with my husband this week.
Greetings to you dear
This is a very helpful video, especially when it actually gives a demonstration of going to the range itself.
I'm very new to gun ownership and the only experience I've had at a range was when I went there with an NRA instructor, but the place was completely empty and I had a very custom experience rather than the standard, so I'm still unsure of how exactly to approach this.
Anyway, thank you for the video!
Thanks NSSF, I'm always taking new people shooting. This will help cover some points I might miss.
Great video Barry. Next time I take a new shooter out I'll make sure they watch this a couple of times in addition to my usual safety rant.
Shooting truly is a great sport. I've done competition shooting for 2 years now.
Welcome to the club. I'm not a SEAL but I'm in the Navy. It's a hard life, but very rewarding. You're going to need to be in top physical shape and have outstanding grades. Keep working hard and maybe I'll see you in the fleet someday. Good luck.
re hearing protection:ear muffs are great for indoor handgun practice, but they can get in the way when you are shooting a rifle. The effect of this is to move the muff closest to the rifle slightly off of your ear, removing your protection. Ear plugs, possibly cotton over ear plugs are more appropriate for rifles, in my opinion.
Thank you, Excellent video.
Thank you Barry for your interesting video.
magazine ,then clear staying pointed down range .A must habit to keep! Agreed
Great video. Everyone who owns or wants to own a firearm should watch this.
Beefing up my knowledge before my first buy 😀 Turned my application in a few days ago 💯
Thanks man! New gun owner here... so this video is appreciated.
I'm happy people take safety and rules this serious.
That's one of the reasons I got myself a firearm license. To be with friendly and professional people. Thank you for this video
Thank you! I’m only 22 and tomorrow is my first time going to the range with someone and my first time firing a gun. I figured it’d be best to educate myself on the four rules of gun safety and gun range etiquette beforehand.
Best of luck so much fun , I’m 25 just purchased my first firearm and never shot a gun either it was exhilarating and kind of awkward not knowing where to start or technique
Thanks for your effort.
It seemed pretty simple and straight forward. I hope I can remember it all at the range. 😊
What a fantastic video! Thanks again!!
Great Explaination Thank you very much :)
Such a great tutorial, thanks!
Good video. I was thinking of going to an outside range, and didn't know what to expect; now I do.
Thank you!
If you go on a first date and the girls not what you expect, yell for a cease fire. walk up and leave.
unless she is good in bed then it ok.
Bathtub Shark no I think you want to call for suppressive fire from your buddies so you can retreat
I am going to do that when I argue with the wife 🤔😁
Good range safety information here. Why some ranges don't have this as their safety video for range orientation is inexcusable. Thanks NSSF! You do great work for range owner-operators!
Excellent video!
Awesome! Straight to the point. Thank you!
When my brother took me to a gun range I watched this whole video before shooting and I had a great time.
Thank you! This is my GO TO video - before I take ANYONE on the range with me. Saves atleast 25 mins - so I can rephrase all of this and then get right into SAFELY shooting targets. Remember folks, for NEW shooters that you may be introducing to the sport. ALWAYS load just 1 round into the magazine, cylinder, clip. Let them build the confidence and monitor closely. Once they have proven themselves, then proceed to 3, 5, 10 - and full, etc.
Great video, I am new to a firearm and this video greatly help me
great video, thank you for taking the time
Thank you for the video, sir!
Thanks for all your tips guys...
FANTASTIC!! So appreciate this video :)
That guy actually made a mistake. At the cease fire scene he locked the slide to the rear and then released the mag. I have tried that before and everytime there is still a round in the barrel.
Was thinking the exact same thing. He may want to stick to revolvers.
Im 7 days away from picking up my 1st gun.. Glock 26 OD Green, im very excited.
Yes I’m going this weekend happy Thursday everyone
Again excellent video I will be showing this to friends before I take them to the range. Thanks again for the great resource.
Although I've done time with an M16A1 in the military 1983 to 1992 I'm a complete virgin when it comes to hand guns/pistols beyond the BB & Soft air gun type but am wanting to get into it as a fun sport and may turn into a collector but am wanting to learn safety first. I found this video very inspirational..
Excellent video. It makes me want to pick up shooting and come to your range.
Love the video!
Wow this was absolutely excellent.
Great review!!
Great vid. Thank you.
How is this not mandatory in schools?
Because we're being taught to simply fear guns instead, which is horse crap.
+Infinite Bladez your right it should be.
In my state, you're taught these things in the process of getting your concealed pistol license.
It was in mine :) (seriously - we had a rifle range - great introduction to safe operation and range practice). Downside the weapons were vintage (particularly today) so to try to get one again for personal use is tricky.
I wish it was! I was always scared of them!
excellent video!!
A couple of things I've noticed, one, is when UNLOADING a firearm, it's a great idea to remove the magazine first!!! The second issue I've noticed, is when shooting a revolver, the SUPPORT hand THUMB should be curled DOWN over the strong hand thumb to prevent any blood spill at the range and or ending up with a black thumb covered in gun powder soot LOL
A topic I wish the NSSF would talk about is exposure to lead. What can be done to protect ourselves from exposure while at the range. Also how to minimize or prevent contamination from spreading beyond the range, especially, to our home.
Thank you!!
This was pretty funny. 😂 great safety video.
Extremely well done Video. All safety rules are spot on!
Great video.
