Not washing up after shooting seems insane to me. My range even has warnings posted about washing your hands and not eating or drinking. There's even a sink in the back!

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.

Not in the US anywhere I've ever seen

It's very common

What's more most indoor ranges in the US have de-leadening soap specifically in the dispensers. Never seen a sink in the bays myself either but every sink in the building has the soap (and not sure a lead covered sink would be much help anyway, tbh, so probably best they're not in the bays..)

Yep! Yeah a sink on the range itself would do more harm than good
