The NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) program was developed in response to the demand for a nationally recognized range safety officer certification. To become an NRA Range Safety Officer, you must pass the RSO course and demonstrate that you possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

This course is conducted by a Chief RSO, an individual certified to train NRA Range Safety Officers. The RSO course content consists of RSO’s roles and responsibilities, range standard operating procedures, range inspection and range rules, firearm stoppages and malfunctions, and Range Safety Briefings which include procedures to follow in the case of an emergency. RSO’s who have successfully completed the course then have the ability to become a Chief Range Safety Officer, someone essential to training and supervising NRA Range Safety Officers and developing range standard operating procedures.

NRA Range Safety Officers must be 21 years of age or older.

This class is the 9-hour NRA Range Safety Officer Course.

Course Fee includes all of the NRA Training Materials, use of guns & facilities, and a certificate of completion.

This course is a required pre-requisite for the NRA – Chief Range Safety Officer Course.
