It's the RO's job to ensure the range is clear before calling the shooter to the line and calling the range in use. A simple process of walking back from the end of the range to the beginning every time is a good simple habit. But it's team work of all shooters to ensure safety is number 1. Biggest newbie mistake I see is people rushing forward to patch a target that wasn't patched, after the RO has called "load and make ready". Folks trying to help but not really engaging brain.
