what does "ready on the left" mean?
Crooking his arm, Oswald drew a fresh bead with his Italian rifle. Ready on the left, ready on the right, all ready on the firing line, his Marine Corps instructors had shouted on the San Diego range, signaling the appearance of rapid-fire targets. He was ready now. They had also told him to hold his front sight at six o'clock on an imaginary clock dial. It was there, and steady. His target, startlingly clear in the cross hairs of his telescopic sight, was eighty-eight yards away.]

These are common safety expressions used on the rifle range to advise those on the shooter's left and right that he is about to fire.

Yes, the answer is correct. On a practice rifle range (a place to practice your shooting skills by shooting at targets that have been set up some distance away), these are things that would have been yelled out as a safety precaution, before the rifles were fired, in order to make sure no one was in the line of fire.
In the Marines, the instructor would yell out these things before soldiers would be allowed to fire on a practice rifle range:
1) Is there anyone down range? (Repeat three times.) The firing line is no longer clear.
2) Firers lock and load one round into your weapon.
3) Is the firing line ready?(Is there anyone in the line of fire).
4) Ready on the right? Ready on the left?
5) Firers move your selector switch to the appropriate mode(automatic or semiautomatic) and commence firing.
6) (After firing is completed) Cease Fire, Cease Fire, Cease Fire
