Re: Rifle Range Educate
The MOST important aspect of SAFETY is that no one handles any firearms while people are down range and it has been declared cold. This includes uncasing firearms, fiddling with scopes, loading magazines etc. All firearms benched with actions open. Chamber flags are a nice touch. Call me a safety Nazi, but it is sickening what people think is "safe". As far as real etiquette goes, I try to not fire ungodly long strings of fire if I notice someone needs to go down range to either post targets, retrieve targets or check targets. Everyone doesn't show up with a spotting scope.

Re: Rifle Range Educate
Firearms not handled and on safe if someone is downrange.
Loading mags is fine
Chamber doesn't HAVE to be open (not all firearms have this ability), but is a nice touch
If there is space, keep an open table between you and the next shooter.
Usually aagazine worth of ammo between checking to see if someone needs to check... I usually offer my spotting scope to whoever would like to just check targets.
Clean up your brass/steel afterwards
Take down targets when you are done
Announce when the range is hot and when it's cold
Don't shoot at other people's targets

Shoot everybody's target first, then yours.
