Product Description
This is a course designed to prepare experienced shooters to the basic duties of a Range Safety Officer (RSO). RSOs ensure that the users of a range follow range regulations in order to reduce property damage and personal injury. RSOs often have responsibilities to take action when circumstances require it. The RSO is the range’s official on the firing line to ensure safety and to help shooters.
Many ranges seek out volunteer Range Safety Officers and the NRA developed this course to help ranges train those RSOs.
Becoming a Range Safety Officer is akin to becoming a NRA Certified Instructor, with much harder testing and the maintaining of a certification card with the NRA. A new RSO will need to pay $26 for processing of their card and $5 annually to maintain the certification. RSOs are neither certified instructors nor coaches.
Although the course can be completed as quickly as nine hours, it often will take longer depending on the class size and the facilities at the range. For example, a large number of indoor and outdoor ranges of different types cannot be toured quickly.
Students will receive a student packet featuring a RSO handbook. This handbook is not available separately.
