(470 posts)35. so much wrong with what you wrote
all shooting ranges have the no touch rule when the range is cold. thats so you don't accidentally shoot someone as they go down range to switch targets, check grouping and so on. as soon as everyone is finished and behind the line. the range is now hot, meaning you can handle, load, and fire your weapon at will. until the range is cold again.
