Guys, for those that haven't used firearms before I want to mention that the most important thing you'll learn from the experienced owners is safety and etiquette at the range. The rules are in place to prevent injuries at both indoor and outdoor reasons. All it takes is for one inexperienced person to cause injury or death because they were concentrating on just shooting the weapon and not so much on proper handling.
It's also important for first-timers firing semi-automatic pistols because they will become confused if the weapon should somehow jam. I saw one guy try to clear a jam and turned to face straight down the firing line to do so. If his weapon had discharged, the round would likely have ricocheted and struck someone. I observed this at Cordova. It also couldn't hurt for newbies to sit out the first firing session just to observe how the routine goes.
Notice how everyone pays close attention to orders barked by the range master over the PA. The inexperienced stand out because those are the ones who will try to squeeze off 'just one more shot' after the call to lay the weapons down on the bench.
Learn gun safety and you'll have more fun during the actual shooting part.

I was going to post a copy of the range rules, but they don't have them online. They are going to fax them Monday, and I'll get them scanned and posted.
