Remember the Rules of the Range

Not to sound snobby, but it will sound snobby. I just straight up can't go to public ranges anymore. If it's not outdoors, and I can't get my own bay, it's a hard pass. I have seen so much questionable **** it's terrifying.

About a month ago, on my private outdoor range, saw something that was plum crazy. A man was shooting a target at 7 yards a woman was shooting at 3 yards. They were about an arms length apart both shooting at the same time. Thank goodness the woman wasn't injured but how stupid is this scenario?
 
This is my range. Nothing fancy, but I don’t have to worry about getting shot by accident since I’m the only one shooting.

With more new shooters each year and ranges busier than ever, following range etiquette and safety rules has never been more important.

I work at an indoor range, and I agree there is some scary stuff going on there at times. We have a full time RSO whenever there are shooters, video surveillance of each lane, and a lane intercom system. We also have a zero tolerance policy for those not choosing to follow range safety rules or use good common sense. Still...you know what happens!! I'm not going to pepper you with horror stories. Rather, I elicit your support when you do visit an indoor range. Keep in mind that everyone on the range is an RSO! Range owners and staff are not going to take you to task for cautioning someone behaving in an unsafe manner. They and your fellow shooters will thank you. If you are too shy to speak up, go notify range staff. If you do speak up don't just criticize - offer suggestions for improvement. The person you save from injury just may be you. Final thought - weekends should be avoided whenever possible. That's when the 'scaries' truly come out.

true about "weekend warriors"...my description of weekend customers.

i have been told horror stories of shooters with guns in both hands trying to be like cowboys against the injuns...

been told of guys in camo gear, acting all Rambo.

since i am retired, i go days at the public range as well as my club...at the club, i am all alone, and LOVE IT

at the public range, others are retired as well, with a few working people mixed in, and we are ALL GOOD and respectful.

and too, i always sweep up after myself at BOTH places, 1, due to i want my brass, and 2, at my club it is expected we do so.

my club, i sweep the entire range (only 6 lanes), at the public range, i only sweep my shooting port area.
 
I shot at an indoor range, private club, members or guest of members only.
6 lanes, all shooting done behind a counter (for lack of a better word). Each lane has the target retrieval system where you hang your target up at the counter, send it out to your desired distance and then bring it back in when you're doen with that target.
Each bay is divided by a floor to ceiling wall the depth of the counter (2 feet?)
We have no RSO's/range masters. None. We all self regulate.
Been shooting there for like 10 years and have never really seen a problem
