We Need Range Rules for Private Range

At least, yeah.

0.12 seconds between shots?

You're cruel to tease Sam...you'll make everyone slap happy.

.20-.25 sec won't intimidate as many folks...that's only 4-5 rounds per second

i might make people demonstrate drawing and dryfiring before letting them do it with live ammo

 

[9mmepiphany]

A proficiency demo is a good idea. I'd also recommend the ability to holster (watch their trigger finger and thumb) and change mags (watch their muzzle)

 

[BullfrogKen]

that's only 4-5 rounds per second

Well in that case . . . Sam, you'll need to slow down a bit this Thursday.

That would make practicing for carry a bit complicated

That's why I got snapcaps. I do not need live ammo to practice drawing and firing. Granted the live ammo does add full realism but particularly with someone with less experience, I would definitely say snap caps are the way to go.

 

[taliv]

and DEFINITELY make sure their holster completely covers the trigger guard before letting them do speed draws

 

[LAK]

I would stick to the late Col. Cooper's FOUR RULES mentioned above.

They are sufficient, with the understanding of range procedure;

That when the RED flag is up, the line is hot, and firing may be in progress.

When the WHITE flag is up, the line is cold; there is no firing, all firearms on the firing line (i.e. laying on benches etc) are clear - unloaded, people are downrange.

You could add a LOUD buzzer or horn to announce changes to line flags, or just have the assigned range supervisor to shout a "Cease fire cease fire!!!!! The line is cold!!! No firing etc!" And a visa versa for the red flag order.
