What is the primary responsibility of the range OIC?

The primary responsibility of the range Officer in Charge (OIC) is to ensure the safe and effective operation of the shooting range. This encompasses a wide array of duties, including enforcing safety protocols, maintaining order on the range, and ensuring that all participants adhere to established rules. The OIC plays a critical role in preventing accidents and ensuring that all individuals on the range are trained and aware of safety measures.

While overseeing the cleaning of firearms, scheduling events, and training new shooters are important tasks within the broader context of range operations, they do not encompass the ultimate responsibility of the OIC. The focus of the OIC is primarily centered around safety and operational efficiency, making it the most critical aspect of the role. This foundational responsibility ensures that all range activities can be conducted safely and with respect for the well-being of all participants.
