Step 5. Aiming and Firing Safely A. Aiming and Firing the Air Pistol You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes. Always aim your air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the air pistol "Off Safe" (See Step 2B). This air pistol will function in either "Double Action" or "Single Action" mode. To fire in "Double Action", apply steady pressure to the trigger until the pistol fires. "Single Action" mode means that the hammer has to be manually cocked prior to firing. To use "Single Action" mode, pull back the hammer and squeeze the trigger. For rapid-fire shooting, we recommend the "Double Action" mode, for more precise shooting we recommend the, "Single Action" mode. To de-cock the hammer, put the air pistol "On Safe," point the air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION, place your thumb on the hammer and pull the trigger as you slowly guide the hammer back into the upward position, then release the trigger. Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit. Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at paper bullseye targets which are attached to a safe backstop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop. Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs. Your air pistol is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target. The air pistol is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in the notch of the rear sight. The top of the front sight blade should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bullseye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight (Fig. 12).
