Range Safety Officer

Range Safety Officer

Range Safety Officer Training Course

This is a course designed to prepare experienced shooters for 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 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 train those RSOs.

Becoming a Range Safety Officer is similar to becoming a NRA Certified Instructor, with much harder testing and the maintaining of a certification card with the NRA.

Course Goal

“To develop NRA Certified Range Safety Officer who possesses the knowledge, skills, and

attitudes essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range

operations.”
