Pistol ranges are now spread out more, with more space between shooters to allow for social distancing, which means more relays need to be run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Berger said that Marines \u201ccan only do so much\u201d to \u201cmoderate social distancing\u201d during live-fire events, especially when Marines are \u201cmoving down range.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
