Yes, I noticed some ranges have wider lanes and or taller partitions than others ranges.
For those new to going to a range, please remember that the semi automatic gun shooters have no control over where their casings fall/project out to, and there’s nothing they can do about that.
I learned the hard way to have good eye-wear and I like to wear a decent quality cap with a visor and long sleeves, tight color, to limit the distracting feelings of hot casings bumping onto me. I got used to it.
Anyone who has arc welding experience understands that hot brass pales in comparison to hot slag jumping down your glove
Sometimes that is the best course of action. I have done that, too. However, I typically use that as a teaching moment as many that I have seen not using proper safety are new. Most of the time, the person(s) is appreciative of the assistance. I would rather they learn than continue being unsafe. It might not just be their life being saved. I have left a few times when the person(s) did not seem to want assistance or was clearly a long time shooter and not seeking advice. I also did what you did and informed the employee of the safety violations.
