I have never been to an outdoor gun range, only indoor ranges. I will be visiting an outdoor range for the first time next week - I just found out that my town has a free outdoor range. I am embarrassed to say that I have no idea how an outdoor range works or if the safety rules differ.
How does target placement work at an outdoor range? All of the indoor ranges I have visited have an overhead/electric track that allows the shooter to set target distance from where the shooting actually takes place. The range I am visiting says that I must bring my own targets and a stapler. Do you actually walk out onto the range to set up your targets and retrieve them at an outdoor range? If this is how it works, how do I ensure that my shooting neighbor doesn't accidentally shoot me.
Is there anything else I should be aware of before going out?
Thanks for your help.
