I shoot at a small club where everyone knows everyone and most of the time, for precision shooting, we do not have a dedicated range control officer. We do have a standing instruction that under these circumstances the shooter on the left most firing point (there are only 6) is acting RCO. Said shooter must be a full member. If we have a probationer on the line then he will be 1 on 1 supervised by a non-shooter who also takes the RCO role for the detail. If absolute beginners on the line then 1 on 1 and a non shooting RCO.

Sometimes as part of our training programme we set up a full formal RCO so the learner(s) can experience the formal process, and before they become full members we set them up as RCO with experienced shooters on the line who will variously have (gentle) problems.

For timed/rapid (Police Pistol 1500 etc.) or when other clubs are visiting we always have a dedicated RCO.

It's worth discussing your observations with the more experienced members or the committee - there might be some similar arrangements which are in place but not obvious. It never hurts to explore safety concerns but try to raise them in a non-critical way an air of "wouldn't it be better if......"

Also note that on ranges with target returners (e.g. Melville bay A at Bisley) and of course those ranges with butt markers (e.g. Century, Stickledown, Short Siberia at Bisley) there is usually no RCO
