One of the most important aspects of being a responsible gun owner is getting regular practice with your firearm to maintain your familiarity with it. Shooting skills are perishable, so it's important to build as much muscle memory as possible so you can rely on it in a high-stress situation. For many of us, particularly in urban or suburban areas, that's going to mean going to an indoor range. That's why it's so critical to understand the basics of range safety and etiquette.
Our friends at Shooting Illustrated have put together a great video to help you understand how the fundamentals of gun safety translate into physically being at a range surrounded by other shooters and range safety officers (RSOs). In it, editor Kevin Creighton demonstrates what gun safety on an indoor range looks like, to better help you visualize how you'll need to behave while in your shooting lane. (And yes, we confess, this video isn't a minute long ... it's 2 minutes and 45 seconds!)
