Range Safety Officer Class

The NRA Range Safety Officer program was developed in response to the demand for a nationally recognized range safety officer certification.  NRA Range Safety Officers are people who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

An NRA certified Range Safety Officer is required for many Scouting America shooting sports activities. 

What you will learn:

• Introduction to the NRA Basic Range Safety Officer Development Course
• The Role of the NRA Range Safety Officer and Range Standard Operating Procedures
• Range Inspection and Range Rules
