EXPLANATION:  

Follow the following steps to safely get your firearm into and out of a tree stand:

1.Discharge your firearm, and open the action and verify it safely.

2.Place it on the ground with the snout slightly raised to prevent debris and dirt from entering the barrel.

3.Tie a short cord or rope around the stock, and stick the other end to the barrel. This "bridle" gives away to attach the tug line. If there is a sling in the firearm, the firearm can be used.

4.Attach or tie or the tug line safely to the bridle or sling so that the firearm is hanging with the muzzle faced down. Make sure the tug line is slightly longer than the height of the tree stands over the ground.

5.Slide the end of the tug line through your belt. Leave it unknotted so it can be pulled out if the shooter falls.

6.Put on your fall-capture system, save by hand to the tree, and climb to the place where the shooter is standing.

7.After you are safe in your tree holder, bring a firearm. Remove the tug line and bridle.

8.Make sure the firearm barrel for obstructions and then reload it.

9.To bring down a firearm, stick the tug line as when carrying a firearm up. Gently lower the gun to the ground on the reverse side of the tree from the climbing route. After returning to the ground, check the barrels for any obstructions.
