When people are shooting its only common courtesy to keep the noise down. It's often hard for the puller to hear a shooter call for a target when there is a lot of noise in the background.

If you are on a trap line you should stay quiet during the round. You might be there just enjoying the day but the guy shooting beside doesn't want to hear your groaning about your last miss or bitching about target height, the weather, the puller. etc. Talkers on the line aren't welcome during competitions.

Another point is to be decent to the people working at the place. I've seen a lot of real a**holes chew out the scorers if they got a slow or fast pull. If you get a bad pull, don't shoot and recall. Remember under the ATA rules if you shot it, you bought it. It's your fault not the puller's. Our club often has shooters score rounds and it's not as easy as you might think.

Ear and eye protection always.
