What regulation addresses attending a gun range prior to attending BOLC?

I am direct commission Veterinary Corps (0-4), USAR. I have completed Phase 1 BOLC and reserved to attend Phase 2 September 2018. I have been told that I cannot go to gun range with my unit during AT because I have not been to BOLC. Can find no regs that state that I cannot go.

My unqualified guess is this a bureaucratic unit rule.

Since everyone from Privates to Generals regularly qualify with assigned weapons, I cannot see where BOLC would preclude you from attending the range.
