Weapon's cleared, Bolts locked bac, no round in chamber. That's how everyone does it at the one particular range I go to from time to time. If I take a picture sideways of the rest of the line it looks the same way for 20 stalls the whole way.
Now yeah I agree in the military we never did that. We dropped them completly down, so I definatly found that weird at first about that range, but as soon as they yell "clear" everyone just locks them to the back and makes sure no rounds are in and leaves them on their rests. I mean people come and go so frequent they are yelling clear to hang and pick up targets just about every 10-15 minutes so I just follow what the range officers say to do. Now if someone is actively crouched over sighting up a target that's a different story.
I understand your concern and all, but if your going to call me out for something like that and make me look like I haven't been safely shooting a rifle since I was freaking 10 years old I'd appreciate you do it via private message next time.

Apologies if offense was taken, none was intended. I wasn't trying to take a shot at you personally, but I can see how it could have been taken that way. I saw bolt locked back, no finger near the trigger, and in my opinion, thats good enough
All I meant by it is that I find it very surprising that the range, and even more surprising that their insurance would allow such lax safety practices. Since they are liable for any accidents that may take place, usually they go all out. Around here, the norm is to lock bolts back, put the on the rack, then go stand behind the yellow line away from the guns. That's how it is at pretty much every one I've been to, hell I've been to one that wouldn't even let me load a magazine during a range break.
Anyway, this thread is about cigars, I'll keep my comments cigar oriented.
