- Learn about gun safety and shooting range safety and etiquette through this video produced by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The video offers tips on safe firearms handling and shooting range safety for those using FWC rifle and pistol ranges and shotgun facilities such as trap, 5-stand and sporting clays. The FWC manages several public target shooting ranges across the state. For more information, visit www.MyFWC.com/Ranges.

This is an excellent video. Any shooter as well as Instructors can benefit from this video.
Thanks, that was useful information. Firing a gun can be fun, but being around other shooters who are doing what might be unsafe things can also be pretty scary. And I don't want to put other shooters at risk myself. The watchful range officers where I shoot here in Colorado make me feel much safer.
Number one rule...always assume a gun is loaded
Yea 3 simple rules seem off
1 treat gun as loaded visually check
2 keep finger off trigger unless shooting
3 keep muzzle in safe direction I'll not be shooting at this range
Great video. Love going out to Tenoroc 🙂
10:37 - Yeah, right. I witness some rentacops in full gear come out and load on the back bench behind the shooters. We did have a volunteer range officer that day for a change and I told him. They blew him off as they were "professionals". I then tried to report it on the FWC website and phone but got nowhere.
She grabbed something from the table during a cease fire. At all the ranges I go to and the one I ran for a year, after you unload your firearm and leave actions locked open and step behind the back line, you're not allowed to touch the bench until after the range has been cleared..
Thank you for watching our video. We appreciate all the feedback we receive as it’s our goal to ensure visitors to FWC’s public shooting ranges have a safe and enjoyable time.
I have worked at a range for around 7 years as a RSO, I agree on of the biggest problems during a line break is people grabbing targets and such off the benches. Always a good thing to remember if your going down range have all the targets, tape, stapler and anything else you need in hand when you say you're clear.
Love to see an Official RSO at the ONR range and a time limit on how long you can hold a station. Some people bring 10 weapons and stay all day and you can't get a station to shoot at. Therefore when you're actually hunting you have idiots target practicing in the woods because the range is full!! The FWC says well we can't do anything about them because technically they are allowed to shoot in the woods because it is hunting season!
Hundreds of acres and only 12 stations in the section of the state full of hunters and gun enthusiasts. It is a joke. Actually, it is a disgrace.
Can you shoot a shotgun at the rifle ranges? If so what shots are allowed? They say buck shot and bird shot are not allowed.
How long does it take to get a permit?
I got mine in 4 weeks
Got mine in 20 minutes.
I think it depends heavily on what state you live in.
I can imagen this man facing another armed man or intruder and firing every two seconds.....
Glock 43x
Telll the clay-shooter not to fire his second round in less than 2 seconds... 🤪🤣🤣 rapidfire bann is bullshit, sorry. There are serious and needed security rules. If a shooter is living everything of this, rapid fire is absolutely no problem. It‘s just a old, ridiculous, annoying bullshit-rule. But hey, very nice range! Greets from 🇨🇭
Rapid-fire is how you get injuries due to the gun jamming and you continuing to fire.
@@gcfrreal exacltly. in this case the shooter is not respecting the rule only to fire on a target you want to hit and the rule only to fire when you are sure. Don't bann rapidfire - bann shooters who can not handle the weapon and don't respect the rules. 😏
While I understand the reasoning behind them, I feel obligated to point out that most of the "safety protocols", were the creations of attorneys, to protect shooting ranges from legal liabilities.
I no longer go to public ranges, either commercial or government run, except to zero my hunting rifles before the season starts. There are simply too many "little Hitlers" throwing their weight around to feed their egos, it takes all the fun out of shooting,
(I actually had one "professional" range safety officer, grab me from behind while I was in the middle of an eight-round string from my .45. His reason? He saw me pause and glance over my shoulder, and he thought I "might" be going to turn around while firing. Fortunately, it was caught on camera, and they eventually got rid of him, but I've never been back to that range. I'm sure there are plenty of egocentric megalomaniacs ready to take his place!).
Since I live in the county, and not inside the city, I've built my own 36 foot (13.33 yards), range in my backyard. I use it for handgun practice, with firearms & ammo ranging from subsonic .22, up to .45 ACP +P. I realize this option isn't open to everyone, but if you have the space, I highly recommend it. Just make sure you've got a sufficiently large & sturdy backstop!
I used a 4x8 sheet of 1/2" thick mild steel, (mounted horizontally), with a 4" layer of old phone books & catalogs, covered with 6 layers of reclaimed pallet boards, mounted on the front of three 6"x 6" pressure treated posts. It's held up very well for the last five+ years, with no ricochets or perforations.
Those of us who live in cities sadly don't have that option, no. Otherwise I'd love to do it that way.
This range looks like no fun at all.
All these rules just show how irresponsible too many people are. That's the only reason for abundant rules. Real shooters just need a target. Public ranges are scarier than inner cities, too many bubbas. Think I'll stick to my own range.
