ScotShot LLC - NRA Range Safety Officer.
This is a National Rifle Association accredited and certificated course.
Please note that this class does not certify people to teach the use of firearms.
WHAT THIS COURSE IS FOR
NRA Range Safety Officer provides a clear foundation running a firing range,
including safety, organizational and inspection aspects. It is designed to give
the student the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude to take charge of a range-based
shooting event. NRA Range Safety Officer is an 8-9-hour training course that
covers the layout of firing ranges, developing Standard Operating Procedures,
conducting range briefings, identifying and safely dealing with firearm
malfunctions and dealing with firing range emergencies. Upon achieving a passing grade
(90% or higher) in the final RSO Candidate examination, and with the recommendation
of the Chief RSO leading the course, candidates will communicate with NRA directly
on-line and pay the NRA fee for issuing the certification. This fee is not included
in the ScotShot fee.
WHAT THIS COURSE CONTAINS
We start with the role and responsibility of the RSO, and the importance of
Standard Operating Procedures. Then we move on to the structure and layout of a
firing range, how to identify and describe the range limits, conduct a range
inspection, and clearly describe range rules in the context of a Range Safety
Briefing. The course concludes with a description of procedures for dealing with
range-related emergencies and the emergency services (including firearm stoppages
and malfunctions), and how to properly control shooters on the range and at the
firing line.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
This is a beginner-level course, suitable for people with some experience of
shooting and shooting ranges and facilities. This course does not require a
firearm or live-fire. However, you should be functionally familiar with the common
handgun, rifle and shotgun configurations, and able to demonstrate safe gun handling
at all times. The RSO can be taken by adults over age 21. The only things you
need to bring are a light lunch, pen and notepad, willingness to learn and a desire
to succeed. We encourage people to bring and share their experiences
and observations.
WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY
We provide all training materials, firearms, non-functioning training "ammunition",
classroom and range facilities, water, coffee and snacks. At the end of the course,
we conduct a short diagnostic examination and issue the RSO Patch. Most of all,
you'll take away a great experience, a working knowledge of ranges and range
procedures and improved safety concepts.
