The hope is that all Italian hunters, a few days after the opening of the new hunting season, return to attend the shooting ranges and armories, also to verify, with the help of the experience of the gunsmiths and instructors of shooting, all the correct behaviors to be followed for handling e use your rifle safely during the hunting activity and in any other circumstance, is the perfect efficiency of the rifle itself, to be sure that all the safety rules are fully respected before going back to hunting.
This is in fact a milestone in the path undertaken for more than 10 years by the Hunting Associations together with the CNCN for raise awareness and promote hunting safety and which has already given significant results, allowing the number of accidents to be reduced over time: a commitment that will continue incessantly in the future, starting from September with the publication by the Control Room of a vademecum on hunting, in its different forms, in safety and in full compliance with anti-Covid regulations.
