There are separate pistol and rifle ranges. You will not shoot on either range without supervision.

Maybe you're talking about some other range, but you quoted 'Buzzy' and he was answering a question about Ocala National Forest Range. I shot at the Ocala National Forest Range in 2013 and there was no supervision, there was a rifle range and a second range was for shotguns. I just looked at their website and it states right on the front page;
"...Ocala Shooting Range is open to the public when classes are not in session. It is unsupervised, so cooperation among shooters is a must! While backboards are provided, they must be maintained. Shooters should bring their own targets and tacks or staples, and those using the shotgun range should bring their own targets."

I haven't been back, but I would go again but not by myself. I've even read on message boards that when you go down range make sure you leave someone behind to watch your guns. I felt fairly safe, most people listened when someone was giving instructions and everyone got behind the line before others went down range. I just haven't had the time, or the people to go with, to make it back there.
PS: Sorry for piling on. I was on page 2 reading when I caught the mistake and didn't see that Buzzy handled it himself, carry on.
