I'm only new to range shooting and I know this doesn't happen at the range I've been to. Just wondering what everyone does with their firearms before heading out to get their targets or whatnot, do they seriously all pack everything up?

is that so? I've thought that FMJ is mostly used for target shooting whereas hollow points for hunting.

As I said , range rules vary but some like the guns removed from the bench and laid on the rear tables , action open .
When the range officer walks along to clear the weapons it is easier if they are all on the same side . Your reading wrong .Pack up and vacate the bench when your finished shooting

Another no no is going dressed in full Camo. You may be asked to change or be sent home.
I couldn't imagine wearing cammo in public, especially Auscam, I'd feel like a massive w anchor. I'd feel like I'd be insulting our soldiers, it's the whole military imposer thing,
I can't even bring myself to wear my Grandfather's medals for an ANZAC dawn service.
I'm not surprised they're sent home to get changed.
I wear camo every day
I do have some Auscam, but I prefer the Woodland patterns generally - I was issued with Auscam in Army Cadets for bush work, greens for parade work. We used to wear our Cadet uniforms to school all day on Mondays to go to parade those afternoons, straight from school, complete with gold beret.
I don't see why I should have to buy other clothing just to make trips into town, or a range, I dress for my comfort, not other people's.
Genuine military contract clothing is the best, if it works for soldiers in Afghanistan then I'm sure it'll work just fine for me on the farm and in the bush.
I've been wearing Russian army boots for last couple years, and really liking them, so much that I'm ordering another pair to replace them.
But I really doubt anybody sees me and thinks I'm actually in the military.
Hey blade, where do you get the Russian Army boots.

That would only be for a full bore range not a BR range . Most BR ranges ban FMJ ammo .

Thanks. Btw, what BR means? sorry I am not familiar with this abbreviation

Glad to see the military clubs don't care if you want to wear camo.

As long as you don't mix and match different camo, that's just wrong

There is a mesh net for anyone shooting pistol on the rifle range but just one of those. I just build a little wall out of ammo boxes etc but I still manage to throw brass a few benches over.
