[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1027737, member: 12"] Being an RSO IMO is not about pet peeves. It is about running a safe and functional range that people want to come to and enjoy shooting. Nothing ****es shooters off worse when some RSO comes in and starts making up their version of reality based on personal whims and pet peeves instead of what is safe and part of the standard range operations. 1. Every range has range specific rules, learn them. You must get this from management and they should be in writing and well advertised/posted prominently to all members or shooters. Your "Pet peeves" may or may not be in the range rules. 2. Everyone follows the rules! Even the "favored sons" who think or have been allowed to think that the rules do not apply to them. Control it right off the bat or they will attempt to walk over you. 3. Conduct range safety briefs and tell everyone how it will be run and stick to it. 4. Stop all unsafe acts immediately but no screaming, be professional. 5. You are an RSO, not GOD, so do not let it go to your head. :) Enjoy, but it will be frustrating dealing with the 5% knuckleheads. [/QUOTE]
