NRA Range Safety Officer

NRA Range Safety Officer Course

This course is approximately nine hours long.  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.

NRA Range Safety Officers possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations indoors and outdoors.

The NRA developed its program in response to the demand for a nationally-recognized Range Safety Officer (“RSO”) certification. Our class and the certification will be especially valuable to firearms instructors.

There are no prerequisites for this course.  All materials will be provided.

This event will be held at the Swanson Hunting Lodge near Niobrara, Nebraska. https://swansonhuntingacres.com/index.html#/
