I strongly suggest you understand and memorise these safety rules before you even get the air rifle. Also get some basic tips on shooting for someone knowledgeable.
These rules are applicable to all types of guns.
No one pays attention to safety and training but they are of utmost importance to prevent mishaps of all kinds.

Rigid rules which must be followed:
1. Treat a gun with respect at all times - it is not a plaything.
2. Always point a gun 'down range' whether you are shooting, dry firing or aiming. 'Down range' means towards target / butt wall / sandbank or the corresponding area of the Firing point which is made of steel or sand to stop the bullets.
3. A gun must always be kept unloaded, except when you are actually firing it.
4. Even if someone tells you a gun is unloaded, always assume it is loaded, until you have yourself checked to make sure it is unloaded. Do not forget that all guns are to be treated as if they are loaded.
5. Even if you have yourself put down a gun on the table and picked it up two minutes later, open and make sure it is unloaded.
6. In the case of a pistol / rifle, always keep the bolt / block / slide open and in the case of a revolver, always keep the cylinder open, except when you are actually shooting.
7. No sooner a command for 'cease fire' or 'stop' is given, immediately unload your pistol / rifle, open the action, and place it on the table, barrel pointing down range. You may touch the firearm only after the command 'load' or 'commence fire' is given.
8. While loading, keep your finger outside the trigger guard. Finger may be placed on the 'trigger' only when you are ready to lift the arm for the shot.
9. Before touching anybody else's weapon, take his explicit permission to do so.
Additional points of safety
Eyes
With all ammunition, particularly Indian ammunition, you often get powder and shreds of lead flying in all directions. These can cause injury to the eyes. It is, therefore necessary, to wear glasses while shooting. Better to wash hands and eyes after every practice session to wash off traces of lead.
Ears
Pistol shots are extremely loud and dangerous to the ears. Prolonged exposure to pistol shots will cause progressive deafness. It is therefore necessary, to use ear protectors. These can be earplugs, ear valves or earmuffs.
System - lead.
All bullets and pellets are made of lead, which is a very soft and also a very poisonous metal. By merely rubbing a bullet you will get some lead on your hands. Lead is not only Toxic, it is also accumulative i.e. It accumulates in the system. Even small doses are highly dangerous over a period of time. Therefore, the following rules should be followed;
1. Always keep ammunition including pellets out of reach of children. Even though they may not swallow it, merely handling it or putting it in the mouth is dangerous.
2. Always wash your hands after handling ammunition.
System - lubricating oils.
In order to protect firearms against rust it is necessary to oil them after use. Most oils are harmful and not only that, they contain various chemical additives, which are also toxic. It is therefore, necessary to wash your hands with soap and water after handling weapons as a matter of precaution. Of course, the oils must also be kept out of reach of Children. Range rules.
1. Before occupying the lane, please sign the 'lane register' and pay the appropriate 'lane fees'. Occupy the lane, which may be allotted to you by the range staff, range Officer or any senior shooter.
2. Keep your club identity card and/or firearms license handy and show it to the range officer on duty when demanded.
3. Obey all commands of the range officer or senior shooter.
4. In case you are carrying any loaded and concealable firearm (revolver/pistol), it must be taken out from your person and/or bag only when 'commence fire' command is on, And that too only at the firing point/bay after it is allotted and occupied by you. You must unload it forthwith, observing all the rules strictly. You are not allowed to take out the loaded firearm from your person or bag during 'cease fire' and/or outside the firing point/bay allotted to you.
5. On hearing the command 'cease fire' or 'stop' you must unload your weapon, including magazine forthwith, and put it on the table in 'breach open' condition, barrel Pointing down range. All weapons must remain unloaded and not touched by anyone while 'cease fire' command is on.
6. Nobody is permitted to enter the ranges or move in the Lakshya shooting club premises with weapons in the waist and/or shoulder holsters which can be seen or are visible directly or indirectly, except law enforcing officers on duty. Nobody is permitted to move in any area of the range with nude handguns i.e. Handguns without a case that can be seen. All handguns must be kept in the case and can be taken out on the firing point only.
7. Members who are VIPs or VVIPs and are allotted gunmen are responsible to acquaint their gunmen with the safety and range rules. Barrels of all the carbines carried by such gunmen / bodyguards must be pointing up at all times.
8. Guests and family members are not permitted to shoot or enter your firing point/bay, unless specific permission has been obtained from the Lakshya shooting club office after completing necessary formalities.
9. You are totally responsible to acquaint your guests and family members who may accompany you, with all the safety and range rules. You will be liable for disciplinary Action in the case of breach of any of the safety or range rules by your guest or family members.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

But always remember, such high quality ARs will *always* out-shoot the shooters, in short, the workman may not be worthy of blaming his tools.
