Watch yer topknot

[Shadow 4]

The shooter still needs to control the firearm and never have a cartridge chambered until the rifle is on the sticks and pointed downrange. Every shooter and spotter on the line should be acting as range safety officers. You can suggest nicely that someone not do what they are about to do but if it becomes an immediate safety concern call a cease fire and remove them from the line without concern of hurt feelings. I'd rather make someone mad at me than let them shoot someone on the line. I can't imagine any match director not backup up such a process.

looks like bryany has it figured out that is the way it should be ..

As I said before this is preached at the matches I give the saftey speechs at (5 of them), Ad nauseam. Almost word for word.

As it should be.
