Be Aware of Your Surroundings
When you’re on a shooting range, it’s essential to always be aware of your surroundings. Please note where other shooters are located and ensure you’re not encroaching on their space. If someone is shooting next to you, try to avoid crossing into their lane or standing too close to them.
Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger
One of the most basic safety rules of shooting and importance parts of range etiquette is to keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot. This is especially important on a range where other people may be nearby. Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot, and always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction.
Know Your Firearm
Before you start shooting, make sure you’re familiar with your firearm. Learn how to safely load and unload it, and practice proper handling techniques. If you’re unsure how to use your gun, ask a C2 Tactical team member for assistance.
Clean Up After Yourself
When you’re finished shooting, make sure you clean up after yourself. Dispose of trash or spent casings in the provided receptacles and leave the range in the same condition in which you found it.
Be Respectful of Others
It’s always important to be respectful of others on the range. Avoid using profanity or engaging in any behavior that could be considered rude or offensive. If someone is having trouble with their firearm or seems unfamiliar with range etiquette, offer to help them politely and respectfully or point them to a C2 Tactical team member.
