What is a key component of range maintenance?

Regular inspections of all shooting facilities and equipment are indeed a key component of range maintenance. Conducting these inspections helps to ensure that the range is safe for all users. They allow for the identification of any potential hazards or issues, such as wear and tear on equipment, structural integrity of the facilities, and compliance with safety regulations. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of accidents and promotes a culture of safety on the range.

While other activities like conducting training sessions for staff, having shooting competitions, or community outreach events are valuable for other aspects of range management and engagement, they do not directly address the ongoing safety and upkeep that regular inspections provide. Maintaining a safe environment through diligent inspections is essential for the overall functionality and safety of the range.
