Pre-covid, RTSP hosted GSSF indoor matches a couple of times a year, I think they also ran some type of action pistol competition once a month or so, we had a NJGF meet-up shoot there with plenty of sustained fire going on. I belong to private clubs, but I've gone in just to rent guns I was thinking of buying, and I certainly put those through their paces. If you're keeping 'em on the paper, and your gun handling is good, you won't be hassled by the ROs.
ROs are really good at spotting who can be left to their own devices, and who needs close supervision--and everyone they don't know will fall into the latter category, for at least a few minutes. Sounds like that is what happened here.
