What do lateral limit markers indicate in a field firing range?

Lateral limit markers play a crucial role in ensuring safety on a field firing range. They define the left and right boundaries where firing is safe and authorized. This helps prevent any errant shots from leaving the designated shooting area and entering unsafe zones, minimizing the risk of injury to personnel and damage to property outside of the range. Proper identification of these boundaries is essential for maintaining a controlled and safe environment for all activities related to shooting. Understanding the function of lateral limit markers is fundamental for Range Safety Officers and personnel to enforce safe firing practices effectively. Recognizing the importance of these markers enhances overall safety protocols on the range, ensuring that all operations can be carried out without incident.
