Title: "Stand behind the yellow line during a cease fire"
Post by: ren on June 25, 2011, 06:23:20 PM
Don't know why is it so hard to obey.  Don't want to turn my back towards a person handling a firearm :grrr:.  Every time.  Some people think it is OK to fiddle around with their firearms while people are down range.  If you are scolded accept it as a learning point don't argue because the guy you were flagging with your rifle while downrange was ME! Don't care if you "said" your rifle was unloaded.  :crazy:

Every time I go to the range, I see people getting targets or staplers or putting them back during cease fire, but never saw anyone handling their firearm.  That would irritate me though

Crossing is one thing, touching your guns is another.  Sometimes there are people kind of packed into the pistol side, hard to not cross the line while walking down the range. What really bothers me is when people shoot after cease fire is called.  That is one thing I really stress to my students -- STOP shooting when it is called. You don't know why it was called! (person, birds, explosion) crazy man with gun etc.

This is just a sign of how many new shooters are at Kokohead.  They hear the rules, but it takes time to make them a habit.  Not an excuse, but the reason why I feel you hear someone get scolded every time you go to the range.

  :oops: I got scolded once..... Luckily the Range Officer was right next to me and almost whispered "Eh watch out the yellow....hehe".. Yeah he actually giggled after telling me that too... I was the fortunate few... I stepped on the yellow while sweeping up shells on the silhouette side... :oops:
