Hunting Hunters

Here are some important considerations to make when it comes to hunting safety:

• First and foremost, you should always assume that every gun that you come in contact with is loaded.
• Second, you are always going to want to control the muzzle. The way that you can achieve this is by pointing your gun in a direction that is safe.
• Now, you are going to want to keep your finger completely away from the trigger until the point where you are ready to actually fire the gun.
• You are always going to want to be sure of your intended target and everything that is around your target.
• Wearing hunter orange makes you a lot safer than wearing any other color. You will not stand out to the deer that you are hunting as they cannot perceive the color the way that we do. However, the bright orange color can be spotted from far away and you will never be mistaken for a target.

Deer are lacking the red-sensitive cone cells that are required in their eyes for them to determine the differences between red and orange and green and brown. Having this type of blindness mean that deer will not be able to pick you out in the trees, but other hunters certainly will be able to. Using fluorescent types of colors like hunter orange is going to look brighter to a human with a gun, while deer will have difficulty seeing the colors and will mistake you for the foliage in the woods. This means that you are safe when you wear hunter orange, and yet it will have no negative impact on your ability to go hunting successfully.

Simply put, wearing the hunter orange color is capable of saving lives. Fluorescent orange varieties of safety clothing are quite effectiveness. Big game hunters that wear hunter orange can go hunting without having to worry about being mistakenly shot by a hunter that is also out in the woods enjoying the deer season. So if you are serious about going hunting and you want to be safe and protected without hampering your ability to sneak up on a good target, wearing hunter orange is a great way to go.

In the past, wearing camouflage colors was the way to enjoy a good day of hunting because the deer could not see you in the brush. Unfortunately, hunters cannot see you either, and they will sooner perceive you to be a deer or other animal than a person when you are running around in the colors of the trees. This is why wearing hunter orange is so vitally important – It may even save your life someday.

The first step to good gun cleaning is to scrub out the bore of your gun using the correct Phosphor bronze brush size, and use a bore solvent like Bor-Solv Supreme for the greatest possible results. This will remove all powder fouling and residue from the bore of your gun if you use it vigorously. Occasionally you may want to use a bristle brush so that the bore can retain more solvent for a longer period of time, making it an improvement. This method is more commonly used in Europe than in North America.

After scrubbing out the gun using a Herringbone 4″ x 2″ patch in a split brass or a nylon jag, removing any of the contaminated solvent. The split jag is used by inserting a patch midway, rotating it in your hand in whatever direction you are going to tighten, twisting the rod in use. You always want to make sure to check the chamber when cleaning. Is there powder residue around the forcing cone? If so, then it may be advantageous to use a chamber brush handle with a chamber brush in order to remove the build up of this residue.

Next you should oil the gun boars using a clean wool mop and some Rangoon oil. Rangoon oil is a tenacious oil that evaporates slowly and therefore allows the gun bore to be stored away for a longer period of time without requiring as much maintenance. Occasionally you should make a point to wash the wool mop out with warm soapy water. If the mop is exceptionally dirty, it might be better to use some paraffin or turps first hand. When the mop is dry you should re soak it in clean Rangoon oil, keeping it in a polythene sleeve or a similar container to keep it fresh and in good shape.

When you store your gun, you should avoid forgetting to relieve the tension of the main springs. This can be done by inserting a suitable pair of snap caps before dry firing the gun. After you install a muzzle stuffer, it will keep the oil vapor inside of the barrel, and it will also keep dirt out and will keep the end of the barrel from getting damaged inside your gun cabinet or another similar storage device.

Before you fire the gun again it is vital that you remove any and all remaining traces of oil. Any oil that remains in the barrel could harm the barrel walls when you fire it for the first time. Use a patch and jag to remove any remaining oil, and check the chamber thoroughly before you fire to make sure that there is no powder residue around the forcing cone in the chamber before you fire the gun.
