Mizzou Trap Academy Conduct Agreement GUN SAFETY IS NOT OPTIONAL. It will be the responsibility of everyone on the team to keep themselves and all other members accountable for their actions. Due to the fact that we are handling firearms, negligence will not be tolerated. Anyone who chooses to disregard the following safety rules/procedures will be suspended or removed from the team immediately. No academy member will ever point a firearm at any person for any reason. Ear and eye protection will be worn when shooting or on the range. Barrels will always be pointed at the ground or in the air. When on the line, barrels will remain pointed downrange. Once on the line, no one may leave until the round is complete and all guns are unloaded. If someone should need to leave after shooting has begun, everyone must unload their firearm before anyone may leave their station. If a gun jam occurs, everyone must unload their firearm. The malfunctioning gun will be kept on the line and pointed downrange until the problem has been resolved. The shooter on station five, for trap, turns to the right when moving to station one or exiting the field. They will also walk behind all other shooters when moving to station one. Actions will be kept open until it is the participant’s turn to shoot. The only exception is when placing an over-under on a gun-rack. Shells cannot be loaded behind the line or when the shooter is not standing on a skeet station. A shell may not be loaded during trap until all people are on the line and ready.
