What should a shooter do in response to the command "Cease fire"?

When the command "Cease fire" is given, it is imperative for the shooter to immediately stop firing and await further instructions. This command is a critical safety measure designed to ensure that all shooting activity comes to an immediate halt, allowing for assessment of the range and ensuring the safety of all individuals present.

Stopping immediately helps prevent any accidents that could occur if a shooter were to continue firing after such a command. It is essential for maintaining control and safety in the shooting environment. By waiting for further instructions, the shooter demonstrates respect for safety protocols and allows range officials to manage the situation appropriately.

Continuing to fire, slowly finishing the current round, or leaving the range could lead to hazardous situations and should not be practiced. The focus on immediate cessation of fire underlines the importance of safety and discipline in shooting activities.
