Instructions

  1. Read the instructions carefully before use. Reading the manual and careful examination of the bang stick are fundamental to avoid any kind of problem.

2. (Verify it's not loaded)  Check your o-ring, verify that it's a nice smooth fit. With the barrel facing down give it a couple of jerks. Verify the barrel does not fall out, if it does replace your o-rings.

3. (Verify it's not loaded)  Check for any cracks in and around the barrel and the barrel holder. If you notice any cracks or problems notify me for a free replacement.

4. (Verify it's not loaded) After checking the o-rings and barrel. Check the firing pin. Make sure it is free of debris if not clean it. Soap and water will work.

5. After all your pre checks are done. It's time for the safety. The safety is tethered to the barrel. The safety is the pin. (Hitch Pin Safety) Insert the safety into the barrel holder.

    6. After you verify the safety is inserted it is now time to load the bang stick. Never load the bang stick until you are ready to use it. That meaning the gator is tired. With the barrel facing in a safe direction ( avoid all animals, humans, boats, feet, hands, and anything you do not want to shoot.) As precaution you want to load the bang stick sideways face away from anything that could do harm. Put the ammo in the barrel. With your fingers hold the barrel. Always verify you hand is not in front of the barrel. While it is still sideways (horizontal) and the safety is still on insert the barrel in the holder.

7. With the bang stick vertical (barrel facing downward, grip towards the sky. Verify the barrel is not facing your feet, boat, or anything you don't intend to shoot.  Remove the safety while still holding the bang stick and verify the barrel is still facing down still facing down.

8. The bang stick is now ready to dispatch the gator. Make sure the gator heads is at least 8-15 inches underwater. With a pool like hit (playing pool) hit the gator behind the moon shape in its head. If the bang stick did not go off. Face it in a safe direction for at least 1 minute to ensure itsnot a late fire. Remove the barrel while the bang stick is horizontal and facing away from any hands, feet, humans, animals. Discard the ammo. Reload following all steps.
