  • This is not intended to be a substitute for taking classes and learning from people in person. I mention that very clearly in the video. This is only to help people to understand how they work and their basics.
    Talking about rifle basics. Including calibers, difference in semi auto and bolt action, safeties, and safety rules.

    - *_Remember My Friend - MATTY - And You Will Always Be Safe._*
    - *M = Muzzle* - Always keep the Muzzle/Barrel pointed in a Safe Direction, which is most often Down Range.
    - *A = Action* - Keep your Bolt Open and the Gun Empty until you are on the Firing Line ready to shoot.
    - *T = Trigger* - Keep your finger off the Trigger until you are on the firing line ready to shoot.
    - *T = Target* - Make sure of your Target and what is behind and around it before you pull the Trigger.
    - *Y = Your Gun* - YOUR GUN, or any gun you are handling, should always be treated as if it were loaded.

    Hi G A, i watched your video from start to finish and i applaud you for explaining all aspects of safe shooting for the beginners. Although i have been shooting for over 50 years i always follow those 4 basic rules.
    1. Treat every gun as thought it is loaded.
    2. Never point your gun at anything you do not wish to destroy,
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
    4. Always be sure of your backstop.
    You are an inspiration to all new shooters and your clear and concise delivery is a credit to you.
    Well done.
    All the best from the UK, stay safe.

    If you truly think about helping a completely new person who knows nothing about a gun. They never should use a firearm of any sort to learn gun safety. Starting out with a handgun is totally not the place to start. They make bolt-action air soft rifles that make perfect learning tools. Then moving to an air soft pistol. It just makes perfect sense for many reasons. Guns make loud sounds that scare people who know nothing about firearms. If someone is afraid they make mistakes. You want them to learn not to be afraid and to respect the dangers of a firearm. You can teach all the basics of safety and marksmanship without the danger of using a real firearm. They can practice for hours in the garage or basement with little chance of injury. Truthfully if they are not ready to learn or don’t follow safety rules well they should never go any further. The traditional single shot rimfire rifle is the first gun anyone should shoot. A single shot pistol is too, guns that shoot more than once add dangerous conditions. Learning to operate firearms that require more steps to load and unload might seem simple to you, but remember the person you are teaching is not you.

    • @jeffnelson1672
      @jeffnelson1672 Před 3 lety

      @@oogabooga5752 Yes, an air rifle would be a good start. Keep in mind, even a pellet rifle can be deadly if misused. Just be sure you know your target and what is behind it. A good next step would be a .22 Marlin 60, or a .22 Ruger 10-22 rifle. Just make sure that you have good instruction until you feel confident in its use, because a .22 can most certainly be deadly for out to a mile or more. Can't shoot it up in the air; no crow hunting.

    This was a good "primer" lesson (see what I did there?). In all the years I've been shooting, it never occurred to me to use a plastic wall anchor as a dummy round! Very clever... The only thing I would say that kinda made me a bit uncomfortable was to see ANY live rounds being used for the mag demonstrations. TO THE NEWBIES: Save your live rounds for when you're at the range.

    Do you have a caliber size chart for other guns, like you had for the handguns?
    Can you talk more about Rugers and also important accessories?

    • @jeffnelson1672
      @jeffnelson1672 Před 3 lety +3

      A shotgun generally has a larger diameter bore, with a thinner barrel wall than a rifle. It has no rifling, or spiraled grooves cut in the barrel, which send a single projectile spinning on a straighter flight path, as with a rifle. A shotgun fires a shell, containing a primer and a charge that propels a number of projectiles together in a group, in what's called a pattern. A rifle fires a cartridge, containing the primer and charge, but a single projectile, capable of longer range and greater accuracy than a shotgun. The primer, charge, and projectile, together for any firearm can be called a round. Large military and artillery rounds are also commonly called shells, although technically, any small arms round can also be referred to as a shell.

      @jeffnelson1672 Před 3 lety

      Staylo is correct - a dry fire. On most rimfire firearms (.22s), this is to be avoided, or it may damage the firing pin or receiver. On most or many centerfire actions, it is ok. Check the manual on your particular firearm, or google it.

  • @rajibjoshi8868
    @rajibjoshi8868 Před 3 lety

    I think the proper place to start is .22 rifle for about 2 years. until you fired it good 10-15 times and learned gun handling aiming and gun responsibility probably similar situation with a revolver start at .22 develop responsibility combined with good handling and store in safe place and manner learn to carry it and draw it aim it etc. until it becomes part of your second nature probably if you are not serious about this maybe you are better of without a gun it belongs in responsible hand so you never regret using or owning a gun ( probably police officers defence personnel or game wardens ) this should also be the standard for you I believe right now I have no guns only junior bow and arrow and hunting knife

    Be VERY careful w calibers that include “-06” like 25-06 or 30-06. Put a 30-06 in a 25-06 rifle chamber and both you and your rifle will have a very bad day

    • @jeffnelson1672
      @jeffnelson1672 Před 3 lety

      "-06", as in ".30-06" refers to a .30 caliber cartridge that was introduced in 1906 ("06"). So, yes, it would not be a good idea to try to fire a .30 caliber round in a .25 caliber rifle. I don't think it would fit, though.
