Firearm safety depends on all of us. Are you a member of a local shooting or sportsmen's club? Help to keep it a safe place to shoot by becoming an NRA Range Safety Officer. As an NRA Chief Range Safety Officer, I conduct the Range Safety Officer course on an as-needed basis. The course can be held at your club. Contact me for information and fees for private or group courses.

The NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) Course develops NRA Certified Range Safety Officers with the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations. This course is nine hours long and is conducted in a classroom and at a shooting facility. Range Safety Officer candidates will learn roles and responsibilities of an RSO; Range Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs); range inspection; range rules; range briefings; emergency procedures; and firearm stoppages and malfunctions. Each Range Safety Officer Candidate will receive an RSO Student Study Guide, a Basic Firearm Training Program brochure, an NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, an Instructor Application/Course Evaluation form, and Lesson Plan.
