Section 8: Safety Considerations
Range safety is paramount: muzzle discipline (always pointed downrange), action open when not firing, ear/eye protection, no live ammunition outside the firing line. Range safety officer enforces all safety rules; violations cause immediate ejection. NCAA-mandated AED + first-aid + emergency action plan. Lead exposure managed via ventilation (smallbore); air-rifle has minimal lead exposure. Shooters undergo periodic blood-lead level monitoring per NCAA + USA Shooting recommendations.
