HUNT S.A.F.E. WITH PROJECT CHILDSAFE THIS FALL!

 

HUNTING SEASON IS A TIME TO PRACTICE AND PROMOTE FIREARMS SAFETY

 

Hunting season is here. As you know, hunting is a tradition that is often passed down from generation to generation. Another important tradition among hunters is practicing safety in the field and when transporting and storing firearms—something Project ChildSafe reminds hunters about with its Hunt S.A.F.E. campaign so that hunts are made safe, fun and memorable.

 

S.A.F.E. is an acronym for Store your firearms responsibly when not in use; Always practice firearms safety; Focus on your responsibilities as a firearms owner; and Education is key to preventing accidents. Project ChildSafe emphasizes safely securing firearms when they are not in use as the #1 way to prevent firearms accidents.

 

Here are a few ways you can help spread the Hunt S.A.F.E. message this season:

 

1. Take our online quiz to test your knowledge of safe and ethical hunting. Share your results with friends and family on Facebook or Twitter:

2. Have a conversation with your friends and family about safe hunting, using this checklist to get you started.

3. Tell us why you think firearms safety is especially important for hunters. What do you do to help you and your hunting companions remain safe at all times?

 

We’ve also developed additional resources to remind outdoorsmen and women that the hunt isn’t over until you’re home safe. Please reach out to us anytime at PCSStaff@nssf.org with any questions or stories about safe hunting.
