The NRA Basic Range Safety Officer course will help you learn how to safely set up, conduct, and supervise shooting activities.
SUMMARY:
The NRA Basic Range Safety Officer course is not just for range employees or instructors: while everyone on the range is responsible for safety, not everyone on the range has the skill, attentiveness, courtesy, or even the moral rectitude to behave safely. Simply put, if you visit the range, have a pulse, and like it, this training is for you.
Develop your powers of observation and refine your awareness so that you and your range-mates can enjoy the day’s shooting activities safely.
