Don’t know what %age of users rent at our range or if that was involved

but we’ve witnessed the scrutiny people undergo before they are allowed to shoot. Hundreds of shooters go through there every week with every level of experience, training and skills. Anyone who hasn’t shot there has to go through a series of videos explaining the range policies and safety precautions, be interviewed re: their experience level and sign a waiver before they can shoot. There are bound to be ways something bad can happen. Even after they went through all the screening above, I once had two guys in the lane next to me, who didn’t speak English, ask me how to load their rental handgun. I went straight to the RSOs and those guys were taken off the line to get schooling.
