OK, so what should be said at a shooters meeting? Should generic shooting advice be given? Versus say what might be said to someone who is at a new shooter briefing or tells people it is their first match?

 

Shooters meeting should stick to thanking the participants and staff/build crew, making club announcements, emergency procedures, ID'ing staff, policies and procedures for range, etc.  No shooting advice at all. 

If you want to bring brand new shooters off the to the side after the main shooters meeting to go over the basics of safety then fine. No need to subject the rest to that content. Give them the 180 rule, given them heads up on any uprange starts and reloading on the move, especially to the weak side. Then be sure they tell their squad they are new and to ask for help.
