    Cease fire means hands off your guns!

    At least 4 times today I had to tell someone not to touch their gun during a ceasfire. All 4 times people were downrange changing their target. Come on people it is not that difficult. Cease fire, clear your guns and do not touch them until the cease fire is open. This includes, uncasing them, adjusting sights... I guess I just expected better.

    Who was in charge of the range?

    Range rules:
    All shooters stand back from the firing line during a ceasefire. No one is to approach the shooting line/bench until the command range is hot is given, and live fire can resume. Break the rules and the range master can give a warning or ask the participant to leave the area for the day, forfeiting range/match fees for the day.

    New/Leaving shooters from the line are given a short period to case/uncase equipment in transition on the line by the range master.

    Safety is the ultimate concern for all.

    Everyone must be aware of all the rules....

    Damn lucky it was you! I know of at least 2 RSO's that are associated with the club that would have asked them to leave the range and never return.

    Sorry I understand cease fire to mean set gun down and step out of the box ..

    I leave my gun on the bench.. And stand about 6 feet back to give the person the confidence I'm not going to cause an accident..

    Of course we all know the rules. But it's easy to see how an ignorant person or a newbie could interpret a "cease fire" for nothing more than what it says - stop firing. Kudos for educating these people though.

    Follow the club's/range's rules a.k.a. the S.O.P.
    If it says boot 'em,then boot 'em.
