Ammunition and Firearm Matching

  • Proper ammunition selection ends with confirming the barrel and cartridge information match.
  • Firearm safety includes keeping fingers outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
  • Shotguns are classified by gauge, and the choke at the barrel's muzzle end narrows the shot pattern.
