Questions and Answers
What are the four basic rules of TAB-K? - -T-reat every firearm as if it were
loaded.
A-lways keep the muzzle in a safe direction.
B-e sure of your target and beyond.
K-eep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
-what are the three basic parts of a firearm? - -Action, Stock, and barrel
-What does the action do? - -The action is the heart of the firearm—the
moving parts that load and fire the ammunition and eject the shells or
cartridges. Several types of actions are used in modern firearms.
Muzzleloaders have locks instead of actions.
-What are the 6 firearm carries? - -The trail carry leaves a hand free for
balance, but don't use it when you're behind someone. This carry is not
recommended when walking in snow or brush—debris can get in the barrel.
The sling carry is an easy carry for long treks through open country. Keep a
hand on the sling when walking so that it doesn't slide off your shoulder if
you trip. This carry is not recommended for thick brush because the gun
could be knocked from your shoulder.
The elbow or side carry is comfortable, but it has the least muzzle control. It
also can snag in brushy terrain. Use it when no one is in front of you.
The two-handed or ready carry provides the best control, particularly in thick
brush or weeds, or when you need to fire quickly. If you fall, this carry gives
you better control of the gun and helps you keep the muzzle pointed in a
safe direction. It can be used as either a right- or left-handed carry. Use this
carry only if your gun would not be pointed at others while walking side-by-
side.
The cradle carry is comfortable and secure, and it reduces arm fatigue. Like
the two-handed or ready carry, the cradle carry can be used as either a right-
or left-handed carry. Do not use this carry if your gun would be pointed at
others when walking side-by-side.
The shoulder carry is a good choice when walking beside or behind others.
Don't use it if someone is behind you.
