I can share that shooting range safety officers, like anyone in a supervisory or observational role, may encounter various unexpected or unusual incidents on the shooting range. Some of these occurrences might be:
Unconventional shooting stances: People trying out unique or unconventional shooting positions or stances that are not commonly seen.
Strange targets: Shooters using targets that are outside the norm, such as unusual shapes or objects.
Malfunctions: Witnessing firearms malfunctioning in odd or unexpected ways.
Odd firearms modifications: People using firearms with bizarre or unconventional modifications that aren't typically seen on the shooting range.
Misfires: Experiencing misfires that result in peculiar reactions from shooters.
Costume shooting: Individuals participating in shooting activities while dressed in unconventional or humorous costumes.
Newbie experiences: Observing newcomers who are unfamiliar with shooting practices, making amusing mistakes or asking curious questions.
It's essential to remember that safety officers prioritize safety above all else and must handle any unusual or unsafe situations with professionalism and attention to the well-being of all participants. If you're ever at a shooting range, follow all safety rules and guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
