Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Another long day on the horizon for me tomorrow. I get to travel and work a quasi IDPA and steel challenge match. No shooting for me, well unless you count me shooting off my mouth doing safety briefings and all things safety for the Match Director. Part of my community service charter. A Competition Club (Razorback Dynamics) is having an open house for the public to expose new shooters to the sport. Each participant is allowed to shoot a stage free of charge and experience a timer and match protocols in a non competitive setting. I fear I am going to have my hands full on safety aspect. What could possibly go wrong? A bunch of amped up folks with a pistol in their hand and no experience? I think it is a very cool concept for the Club trying to reach apprehensive new shooters.

Hopefully, most of the public that are there are required to bring their own firearms, meaning hopefully they have some basic knowledge of safety, at the least! And as you say it's non-competitive but it is on a timer so people may be a little antsy... But Hell Brother, that's your Forte not mine I'm just trying to look at it from a different angle I'm hoping everything goes well for you and everyone else there, if you have to give them the Marine Corps drill instructor routine on safety multiple times maybe you can drill some safety into some people's heads and I imagine if someone acts too dumb they'll be ejected from there. I would also think if you're the safety man maybe someone should be on the front line slightly behind the shooter to kind of school them before they're even allowed to fire or else if they act too stupid send em to the back of the line, until they complete a brief training course or something...
