PRIMING YOUR SHOTGUN:
Your Turkey Pro shotgun is equipped
with a 209 shotshell primer ignition system.
This allows you to use standard, readily
available 209 primers to fire your shotgun.
Use only standard 209 primers. Use of
magnum or other non-standard primers
may be dangerous and/or cause damage to
the shotgun.
NOTE: Older Turkey Pro shotguns
may be equipped with #11 or musket
cap ignition systems. For these guns,
use standard #11 percussion caps, or
standard musket caps to fire the
shotgun.
When Priming your Muzzleloader please follow these instructions:
1. Make sure that your muzzleloader is in the "safe" & "on" position.
2. Point the muzzle in a safe direction.
3. With the gun still pointed in a safe direction, move the bolt handle into
the full cock or "ready to fire" position.
4. Choose the correct 209 primer to fit your nipple. Using a capper or
your finger, press the cap or primer over or into the nipple.
5. When you are ready to fire, move the safety to "fire" or "off" position to
shoot.
4. Your muzzleloader is now ready to fire.
DEPRIMING YOUR SHOTGUN:
1. Use the provided depriming tool to remove a primer from the nipple.
2. Slide the tool alongside the inner part of the primer closest to the nipple
and push the cap or primer off the nipple.
IF YOUR GUN FAILS TO FIRE:
Anyone involved with muzzleloading firearms will experience a
hangfire or misfire. The following are a few simple procedures that will
help you to effectively manage such occurrences.
