Gun Range Management: A Guide for Range Managers, Range Safety Officers & Firearms Instructors

Gun Range Management: A Guide for Range Managers, Range Safety Officers & Firearms Instructors

Over the past 30 years, I have organized firearms courses and shooting training events on some very high-end and formal gun ranges as well as in purely improvised locations with no formal infrastructure. I have worked with students of all skill levels from the scared novice to the established expert while using a wide array of firearms.

My conclusion from these last 30 years is that firearms are safe if handled properly and gun ranges are safe if managed properly. Whether you're shooting a .22 air rifle in your back garden or a light anti-armor weapon on a military range, as long as the basic principles of firearms / weapons safety and gun range management are followed you shouldn't have any problems.

This book will provide the shooter, firearms instructors and range safety officers the points that need to be consider and procedures that need to implement to run efficient and safe shooting ranges and shooting events.
