Standard practice at HSC is to leave your iron on the table; shooters addressing targets can go down range, but shooters that are not heading down range need to leave their iron on the table and they need to back away from the table.
If you don't wish to leave your iron I would guess you could holster it, but it can't be in your hand. You can holster a gun anywhere in the club.
Anyone handling a gun while people are down range is a club violation. This rule is very serious and if anyone mistakenly violates this rule other members quickly inform them on the spot, before the shooters ever get down range to the targets.
HSC doesn't have many rules, but the one outlined above is the most important and the members do a great job policing the range.
Each club could be different, but Harvard Sportsman's Club takes this very seriously.
