What should you do if someone is behaving unsafely on the range?

The best course of action when someone is behaving unsafely on the range is to calmly inform them of their behavior and correct the situation immediately. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining a safe environment for all participants. Addressing unsafe behavior promptly helps prevent accidents and reinforces the importance of safety practices among all individuals present. By intervening directly, you not only protect the individual in question but also protect others from potential harm, fostering a culture of safety and vigilance.

In situations where safety is at risk, timely intervention is crucial, and relying on others—such as alerting all participants or reporting the individual after the session—could lead to an escalation of unsafe actions and potentially dangerous situations. Ignoring unsafe behavior is never an option, as it can result in injury before anything can be done. Addressing the person directly encourages a culture of responsibility and awareness regarding safe practices on the range.
