What should a shooter do if they notice an unsafe act on the range?

  1. Ignore it and continue shooting

  2. Alert a range officer immediately

  3. Confront the person directly

  4. Move to another area of the range

The correct answer is: Alert a range officer immediately

A shooter should alert a range officer immediately upon noticing an unsafe act on the range because safety is the top priority in any shooting environment. Range officers are trained professionals responsible for overseeing safety, managing the range, and ensuring that all individuals are following established protocols. By notifying a range officer, the situation can be assessed and addressed properly, preventing potential accidents or injuries. Ignoring unsafe behavior is dangerous and can lead to severe consequences, both for the person committing the unsafe act and for everyone present. While it may be tempting to confront someone directly, this could escalate the situation and distract from safety protocols. Moving to another area may not resolve the issue, and the unsafe act could continue to pose a risk to others. Therefore, notifying a range officer is the most effective and responsible action to ensure a safe shooting environment.
