Went down to the local DNR rifle range. There's no official range officers there full time, so usually one of the shooters will do it. Today I was acting as a range officer since I was the first one there. For the first hour everything was running smoothly, shooting for about 15-20 minutes with a 5 minute break between stings.
We went range hot at 10:02 and I was planning to call a cease fire at 10:20, but as I finished a clip* around 10:15 I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. A guy at the other end of the range was walking down range with no call for Cease fire or Range Cold!
I put my rifle down and looked around to see if anyone else was shooting, no one was so I asked if I had missed a call for 'cease fire'. No one else at my end had heard anything either.
Turns out the dude checked with a few people around him, but didn't clear the entire range before going down range.
*Yes, a clip, I was shooting an M1 at that time.
