I need some advise

[joneb]

I went shooting with a new friend today at a gravel pit, we shot a few pistols and all went well.
He asked if I would like to shoot some clays and .22 lr bolt guns, and bring his little Bro (he's mentoring a fatherless 13 yr old) I said sure.
I have been shooting for most of my life and consider my self a safe shooter, but I am always on the look out for tips with new shooters.
When I have introduced someone to shooting I give them the gun rules I was taught,
1. assume every gun is loaded
2. do not handle a firearm until you have knowledge of its function
3. if you pick up the firearm, keep your finger off the trigger and keep it pointed in a safe direction.
4. determine the condition of the firearm, loaded ? barrel clear ?
5. when you shoot be aware of the bullets path and range, as well as your surroundings.
Please help me fill in the blanks.
Thanks

don't point it at anything you don't intend to destroy

Sounds good to me I wouldn't go past what you've got

Sounds dumb, but last time I shot somewhere that wasn't a range I had to establish a firing line and explain why it wasn't okay to be firing up infront of people. The only other random stuff I tell new people is what to do with misfires.

Sounds dumb,

Not at all, thank you.

Pdowg, those are the kind of details I need to be reminded of, I take to much of it for granted and with a new shooter I need a refresher.
Keep em comin,
