Safety
Firearms, ammunition and bows can cause serious injury or death. Treat every firearm as loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and be sure of your target and what is beyond it. Wear eye and hearing protection. Take a hunter education or firearm safety course, follow your equipment's manual, and store firearms and ammunition securely, out of reach of children and unauthorized people. Never handle firearms after drinking alcohol or using drugs that impair you.
Laws and hunting regulations
Firearm laws and hunting regulations differ between the United States and Canada, between states, provinces and territories, and sometimes between counties, cities, wildlife management units, federal lands and tribal lands. They change from season to season and sometimes during a season, including emergency closures. Our pages summarize what official sources say and show when we last checked them, but they are not legal advice, and the official source is always the authority. We never treat the absence of a rule on our site as permission. Confirm with the agency in charge before you hunt, buy, sell, carry, transport or travel with a firearm.
Specifications and products
Specifications, ballistics, prices and product details come from manufacturers and other published sources, and they change. Figures for ammunition are typical values published by makers and will differ in your firearm. Check the manufacturer's current information before you rely on a figure. Mentioning a product is not an endorsement, and we do not receive payment for coverage.
Illustrations and diagrams
Illustrations marked as AI illustrations are artistic images, not photographs of real products. Diagrams are simplified to explain a principle and are not to scale or technical drawings of any particular firearm.
What we do not provide
We do not provide instructions for building, converting or modifying firearms or ammunition, or for defeating safety devices. Historical and technical explanations are for education only.
