Important Reminders
The RSO may say “STOP” because something has become unsafe on the range, and it may have nothing to do with the current shooter. Do not assume anything (clear pistol/unload); simply wait for instructions from the RSO.
If, for some reason, the RSO directs the participant to stop shooting (safety violation, etc.), the latter will not receive a refund but is welcome to attend another session. The safety issue will be clearly explained by the RSO, and the participant is encouraged to act as an observer for the remainder of the class (but will not be allowed to shoot).
