Maybe I am out of touch, as I have not been at a public range for many years. The thing that bothered me was the girl shooting a simi auto pistol at a target. The thing was that she was shooting through a maybe 4" x 6" hole in a piece of thick plywood and she was back about 12" to 14" from the plywood barrier.

Does this seen dangerous to anyone but me? I would think that you might get a ricochet, deflection, splatter or a bounce back if you failed to clear the cutout hole. The bullet may not go where it is intended to go.

Is this a normal setup at pistol ranges these days?

Please see the attached pics.

Thanks, Karnivore
That's not typical range. That's a competition set up.
