At a public or private range during times when the range is open for general shooting, there may be anywhere from a dozen to two dozen (or more) shooting stations/lanes, and maybe two or three range safety officers trying to keep an eye on everyone. The RSOs are there as safety officers, not as instructors. They can't take one shooter by the hand -- if they do that, they can't do their job, which is watching everyone to ensure that the range's rules are followed.

People are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. I am a member of a gun club that has every range you can imagine. No range officers present except on days registered competition shoots are going on. 99.9% of the time no range officer is present. 1400 members, open to non members. In the 40+ years in operation, there has only been one noteable injury. It was someone getting run over by a car in the parking lot. The rule that works is common sense. Those lacking it, get run off.
