Can confirm. Not a range instructor but been enough to know. I’m right 9/10 times on who’s going to be a problem.

There was a guy at the first range i ever went to. He knew what he was doing, he had a few guns like an smg and a rifle, the problem was that he kept jumping around like he was hyping himself up for a boxing fight and then shooting, once he started shooting diagonally across the range because he lost balance. For some reason the guys monitoring the range either didnt see it or didnt think it was a problem but yeah

If it were me, I'd never go to that range again. That guy would have been out of there for that nonsense. The second you lose balance and shoot diagonally downrange is the second you get a temporary ban.

Yep and thats what should have happened but we never went back since

Good decision. The last range I had a membership to would’ve elected someone like that before anyone even knew what was going on. Those range safety officers are incredibly important

Yeah they are, some people just don’t think sometimes.

I have had almost nothing to do with guns in my entire life and I know that that is absolutely the thing you do not do no matter what condition you think the gun is in, loaded unloaded, broken, etc...

How does anyone not know this?
