The NRA Range Safety Officer program provides nationally recognized certification for individuals responsible for supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

You must complete this 6-hour classroom course, which covers the fundamentals of teaching, within the two years prior to an NRA discipline instructor training.

This course is intentionally offered under market rate with the understanding that attendees will sign an agreement to assist with a set number of Hawk Mountain Council Range & Target Activities during the certification period.

After this course, you will be able to:

• Supervise Live Fire: Provide direct safety supervision for live-fire range events involving Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Sea Scouts.

• Enforce Safety Rules: Manage range commands, monitor shooter behavior, and ensure adherence to range Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• Inspect Ranges: Conduct pre-activity range inspections and verify proper equipment and environmental setups.

• Handle Emergencies: Manage range emergencies, medical protocols, and firearm stoppages or malfunctions.
   

As with all Scouting events, participants must have a completed Annual Health & Medical Record. Only parts A and B are required for events under 72 hours. Click HERE to download a copy.
