Guys:
Sure enough -- everything posted here has been observed by us over the years. And at some time during our shooting careers we too did something unsafe with a firearm.
So, what is the solution? "Keep it pointed down range" as my buddy LRRP52 said is correct but you can repeat this ten thousand times to someone and they probably won't do it because they never trained themselves how to do the right things at the right times.
And here is how mental skills can be of value.
Joe stated something of immense importance and that is how the environment can have an effect on safety procedures. It wasn't his imagination that things were safer. And they were made safer by changing the environment.
So, how do you guys go about training yourselves to take the right actions when handling firearms?
