Art Vandelay: just to clarify a few points from above -
!/ At Belmont, depends on which range you are shooting on. For instance, on the "big" range (600yd ?), ie the right hand one, upon the cease fire sounding all firearms are placed on the bench, bolts/actions open and all personal move back behind the yellow line. The Range Office then moves along and physical checks each firearm and the all clear is given. Shooters are then able to move forward to change/inspect targets etc. BUT NO personal are allowed on the bench side of the yellow line, touch or handle firearms in any way.
2/ On the "25yd range", ie the left hand range there are racks for firearms to be stored in and upon the cease fire being sounded - no benches present, shooting is from the standing, kneeling etc positions actions are broken, bolts open, firearms racked and similar procedure to above then applies..
Cheers,
