  2. Control the direction of your firearm's muzzle. Carry your firearm safely, keeping the safety on until ready to shoot.
  3. Identify your target and what is beyond it. Know the identifying features of the game you hunt.
  4. Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstruction and that you have only ammunition of the proper size for the firearm you are carrying.
