I don't usually do club shoots, too restrictive for my taste. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.

{QOUTE}:I ran across a couple YouTube videos of BP containers blowing up on a shooting bench when guys pulled the trigger. I guess sparks from the pan, off the cap or from the muzzle ignited a pound of BP. A pound of Goex or substitute that goes bang is real scary-- blew the shooters backwards off the bench.
So where's the You tube video link? I'd like to see it and try to figure out why it exploded. Did he have the cap screwed on or off the can? etc.... |

The likelyhood that a container of black powder going off, and a camera just happening to record it, is so low that I suspect that most U-tube videos showing such an event were staged.

Hanging beneath my arm. I hardly go to ranges anymore.

Mine's usually hanging at my side too, I've got a flask or horn dedicated to each of my B/p guns with the usual load nozzle asttached, although for rapid reloads, I use a separate powder holder(large straight wall cartridge) fo pouring into the barrel or cylinder.

while I prefer shooting on private property, the local gun range is very cool. A lot of times if I go during the day, I may indeed be the only one shooting. It's ran relaxed, unless you are being a complete idiot, the shooters pretty much run it amongst themselves. Even the military range at Ft. Hood is pretty laid back, except that when the Army is shooting the zero range, every time they cease fire, you have to, which is frequent because every couple shots they fire they go downrange to check their targets.
