The amount of new shooters who aren't taught about proper range safety, including lead exposure management, is pretty high. No one told me when I started, and many people act like I'm weird for caring.

Yeah I was never told. Although the first range I spent time at didn't even seem that good with safety either... I stopped going there pretty quick.
